Setting up more than 1 samba domain logon server in the same subnet
Hello all, I have a samba domain logon server set up for Windows 98 clients using SambaV1.9.18p8. Logon and sharing are working perfectly fine. It is serving workgroup yyctpa. Today, I installed SambaV1.9.18p8 again on another Solaris 2.6 running on a PC (name TMA), using the same smb.conf as the workable version but serving a different workgroup yyctpb. I created an account testuser in the smbpasswd file. Then I rebooted my W98 and changed the domain to yyctpb, entered testuser and the correct passwd. Here's the error I got: The domain password you supplied is not correct or access to your logon server has been denied. I typed everything correctly. Why is it working for one installation and not the other? That confuses me. The only difference between the smb.conf on the two machines is that I took away the line "wins support = yes" and "domain master = yes" from the second one. From the attached log.nmb below, I don't understand why the samba for the second workgroup yyctpb keeps on asking another NT workstation (204.50.11.49) for doing the name registration whereas the first one has no such problem at all? Please, please, any advice and comment will be more than welcome. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
