Samba as PDC

Hello all

My environment is like this:

NIS server running on sun, 10 SAMBA servers on HPUX and many Win98 Win2000
clients..

At the begining i tried to make the user authentication very simple. 
Instad of having 3 passwords: (1) - PC password (2) - Unix (NIS) password (3)
Samba password.

I joined my Samba server to an NT DOMAIN and after that the user had only 2
password:
(1) - PC password ( from the PDC) (2) - Unix password (fron NIS) 
without any smbpasswd file , and it working great.

What i am trying now is this:

I config my Samba server as PDC , i try to make the  authentication process only
against the NIS
(so that user will only have one password - Unix password) but i could not done
it.
I always need to user the smbpasswd in order to make currect login (and thats a
problem for me,
becuase i can not handle 10 smbpasswd files on 10 diffrent server.

Is there anyway i can make this process come true ???

My final goal is to config the 10 Samba servers as PDC and the  authentication
process will use
only the Unix password (NIS).

Sorry to disappoint you: No PDC functionality for W2K clients yet (up 
to 2.0.7, you might try your luck with 2.2.0-alpha1) and no PDC 
functionality without "encrypt passwords = yes", thus no NIS.

Regards,
        Robert

   A quick web search pointed to a modified version at

mentioned that this is NT-only software, of course, since 95/98/ME

Samba as PDC

I hope these questions are appropriate for this list, but I am at my wits
end.

I have recently set up my first Linux machine running Slackware 7.1 and
configured Samba as a PDC. Unfortunately, I have run into a couple of
problems for which I can't find answers. Here are the problems.

1. My two Windows 98 client connect with no problem. However, when I try to
share a folder on one of these clients, I get an error (when adding users)
that the list of users is not available and to try again later. Any
suggestions on this would be most appreciated.

2. Over the past couple of weeks I have spent a great deal of time reading
through a pair of books on Samba that are online. I have followed their
suggestions very carefully when it comes to setting up shares. However, it
seems that I can't access these shares from the 98 clients unless I use
chmod to set permissions on those directories to 777. It would appear that
I should be able to allow members of a group--call it family--to be able to
do whatever they want in that directory while denying everyone outside of
that group access or at least deny them the ability to add or change files
within those directories.

Thanks in advance,

Mitch

I am trying to set up samba as PDC for the first time.
It's samba 2.0.7. 

I have followed the steps as explained in "Using Samba"
online book,  but it says it cant find the share.
I have seen the logs:

[2001/09/27 21:55:22, 0] smbd/service.c:find_service(178)
  Invalid snum 6 for netlogon
[2001/09/27 21:55:22, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214)
  bonazza (192.168.0.11) couldn't find service netlogon

192.168.0.11 is the client (Win98 SE).

Samba as PDC

HELP
I  have Samba 2.0.7 up and running on Red Hat Linux 7.0 as a PDC for a
network of WIN 98 and a few WIN2000 machines. Works Fine.   There are
two choices for sharing the Win98 resource, Share Level or User Level.
User Level wants to get a list of authorized users and or groups from
the Samba Server acting as a PDC. The problem is I get a response saying
the list of users and or groups cannot be read at this time. Try again
later. Obviously later never happens. Does Samba not support this or am
I missing something. The WINs server is enabled, the Windows box has the
WINs server IP address, the wins.dat file exists but contains machine
names not users as I would expect. If this is not where the WIN98 client
gets the user list from where is it.

Thanks,

Samba as PDC

Hello

 I'm working for a client who wishes to change all his windows nt servers to
linux servers, but he must retain File Serving capabilities, and 85% of his
terminals are windows (the rest are macintoshes).
 For security, I'm thinking about using linux+samba+winbind to use unix
users as domain users. What I imagine is that someone logs on the network and
have access to his(her) home directory, plus a "Shared Documents"
directory, which is someplace everybody in a particular group can access.

 What's the difficulty of doing that ?
 I'm really new to samba and only used that as a WINS server on routers.
 If anyone can also tell me real case studies for similar situations, please
send me also.

 Thanks in advance for the information

Hi there,
I have managed to get Samba installed and running etc...
I have setup the directories etc for profiles etc... I managed to get samba to 
appear on the network and I can access it via name and IP address, BUT
when I try to add my Win2k PC to the domain it gives the following msg:

The following error occurred attempting to join domain "bla-bla":
The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.

What the heck does this mean ? that I allready have a connection open the
the samba server or that it is not happy with user + passwd ?


Cheers,
Maartin.

Windows doesn't like you connecting to the same machine as more than one
user. You seem to already have a connection open to the server. Log out,
log in, join the domain as the first thing you do.

[Samba] Samba as PDC

Hi Lester,

Yes I did, I added my win2k user account name to smbpasswd and passwd.
I did  not change anything I just went to work and came back last night and 
tried it again. Now I get the following message:
'The following error occurred attempting to join the domain
"bla-bla":
The account used is a computer account. Use your global account or local user
account to access this server'

I did check that the everything is lower case and no spelling mistakes. Now the
creditials I use account on Win2k
that I always use to logon (this account is a copy on the local admin account),
it is also the account that I added to smdpasswd and passwd.
I double checked that the passwords on both pc (my and server) are the same.

I also tried to use the root account from my pc to join the domain but then this
is the error message that I get:
'The following error occurred attempting to join the domain
"bla-bla":
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password'

Now I known the credintials are correct because I use it via Putty to logon with
SSH.
I tried a search on google on these errors, all the results I got back were
people that have the same problem but
have not found any solutions to them yet.

Any Ideas, suggestions, suggested readings?


Cheers,
Maartin.

  Did you add the username and password for SMB.

   

  Smbpasswd -a username.  You have to have the same password in smbpasswd as you
do in your windows box

And how does that help??? You do know that samba passwords are different
to unix passwords, due to the fact that the windows and unix password
hashes are incompatible?

You MUST add an smbpasswd for root to be able to join machines to the
domain (unless you are using an LDAP backend for samba).


Btw, there is a whole section on this in the samba-howto-collection,
have you read through that?

Also, some other docs like
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/connect/csamba6.html may be worthwhile reading.

Buchan

[Samba] Samba as PDC

I understand that you can configure samba to act as an NT PDC.  I have set
up my server according to the documentation from the samba.org website. I am
using a windows XP client.  I am able to get it to join the domain
successfully.  However, after reboot, it indicates that either the domain
controller in down or i do not have a computer account set up.  I have
followed both the manual and "On-the-Fly" machine trust account setup
steps
with the same results.

I am using samba version 2.2.3a-6.

Any help with this would be appreciated as our company is working hard to
develop an alternative to the Microsoft PDC.

Thanks,

[Samba] samba as PDC

This is more of an advice question than a technical one.  I have been
running Samba successfully now for several years with different versions in
a workgroup of about 50 pc's.  We started with just three and have grown
tons.  ANyway my question is can I use samba as a PDC and gradually move
over my workgroup pc's or do they all have to join the domain at once?  I
have 4 samba file servers and 1 w2k fileserver (running sql 2000 yuck!)  I
don't know much about domain systems other than there is one password
database.  Right now if I add a user I have to add him to all the servers
seperately.

[Samba] Samba as PDC

Can someone please help me

I have gone through the howto step by step

hereis my config file

[global]

    ; Basic server settings
    netbios name = POGO
    workgroup = ATCDM

    ; we should act as the domain and local master browser
    os level = 64
    preferred master = yes
    domain master = yes

    ; security settings (must user security = user)
    security = user

    ; encrypted passwords are a requirement for a PDC

    encrypt passwords = yes
; support domain logons
    domain logons = yes

    ; where to store user profiles?
    logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u

    ; where is a user's home directory and where should it
    ; be mounted at?
    logon drive = H:
    logon home = \\sambaoffice\%u

    ; specify a generic logon script for all users
    ; this is a relative **DOS** path to the [netlogon] share
    logon script = logon.cmd

; necessary share for domain controller

[netlogon]
    path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
    read only = yes
    write list = ntadmin
; share for storing user profiles

[profiles]
    path = /export/smb/ntprofile
    read only = no
    create mask = 0600
    directory mask = 0700


When I try logon on my windows 2000 computer and I put the username and
password in off root, it keeps saying that the computer could not be
added as specified user does not exist. I have added root to smbpasswd
etc.

Please can someone help me with what I am doing incorrectly.

Thanks

[Samba] samba as PDC

Hi there, 

I followed all the tips from 'The Unofficial Samba HOWTO' 
concerning creation of PDC with Samba. But my Windows 2000 
SP3 keeps to tell me that 'The domain does not exist or may 
be inaccessible'. (This is my free translation from Polish, 
so it could be something slighly else in orginal English version).

I'm running Samba3.00beta1 from rpm on RH9. I've also tried to 
run stock Samba2.2.7a but I've encountered similar difficulties. 
testparm shows no errors. I've opened all the needed ports on fw.
And I do not know what to do now...

Any help or advice will be highly appreciated, 
	TIA,
	All the best,

	Settlerk

Here comes my smb.conf:

------smb.conf--start-----
[global]

        domain master = yes
        domain logons = yes
        encrypt passwords = yes
        guest account = pcguest
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        log level = 2
        log file = /var/log/samba.log
        logon drive = p:
        logon home = \\serwerek\%U
        netbios name = serwerek
        os level = 99
        preferred master = yes
        security = user
        wins support = yes
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192

        workgroup = bidulek

[homes]
        read only = no
        create mode = 0600
        directory mode = 0700

[netlogon]
        path = /home/samba/netlogon

[Profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
browseable = no


------smb.conf--end-------

[Samba] samba as PDC

Hi,
I am trying to make samba as PDC on,
Linux Mdk 9.1
# smbd -V
Version 2.2.7a

But I don't know what exact setting I need to do on win95 machine.
In my win95 machine I have made,
Network NeighbourHood --> Properties -- > Client for Microsoft Network
-->
Properties --> Logon and Restore ....
In the same section I tried checking "Log On WIndows NT Network".
But still when I try to log in I get the domain cannot be found error.
I have also enabled File and Print Services in Network Neighbourhood.

I don't understand where I should give domain name of Linux server on the 
win95 box.
I am giving my [global] section of smb.conf below.
What more information can I give?

Please CC me the replies as I am subscribed to digest version of the
list.

With warm regards,
-Payal

        security = user
        server string = Samba Server %v
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        map to guest = Bad User
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
