Hi list! I've been playing a little with Samba lately, trying to make it a PDC for a network of Windows computers (no, I don't particularly want them, but it's kind of out of my hands), and I'm having some trouble. I hope there's someone more knowledgeable than I with Samba who knows what might be causing this.
See, to play around a bit, I set up a virtual network with an Etch server and two XP clients running as KVM guests, and I managed to get it all working as it should and as I want it, but when I try it out on the real machine where it's supposed to be running, I can't get the workstations to join it. The problem is that Samba isn't running as root when it runs the "add machine script" and trying to do the actual work of adding the workstation to the tdbsam database, so it gets permission errors. I can't find that I've configured the two machines differently in any way that would matter, though. I've set up group mappings in the same way, and I've verified that the user I'm logging in as to add the machines is in Samba's "Administrators" group (which I've mapped to the "adm" group on both the test server and the real server). Does anyone know what could cause such behavior? Thanks for reading! Fredrik Tolf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
