Hi Excuse my English *g*. I?ve a Samba TNG 2.6 PDC acting as a Domain Server. There is an alex [group:root] account on the /etc/passwd and on the smbpasswd file and I created one with ?createuser alex ?p pw?. My Client Maschine is headhunter so that I?ve HEADHUNTER$ without a password in the smbpasswd file and created one with ?createuser HEADHUNTER$? Here is a snippet of my smb.conf : -------------smb.conf----------------------- [global] bind interfaces only = true workgroup = HUNTER netbios name = limes server string = alexsrv 2/2 log file = /data/log/smb.%m.log security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = yes os level = 64 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon script = startadmin.bat logon path = \\limes\Profiles\startadmin.bat wins support = yes domain group map = /data/private/domaingroup.map domain user map = /data/private/domainuser.map lock dir = /data/lock admin users = @root add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 0 -s /bin/false -M %u ---------------------------------------------- It's a German W2K-Version so it must be administratoren I think ---------------domaingroup.map--------------------- root = Administratoren --------------------------------------------------- ---------------domainuser.map---------------------- alex = Administrator --------------------------------------------------- now if I signup to the Domain "HUNTER" it works "Welcome to domain HUNTER". But if I try to login at start-up the following Message is shown (I hope I translate it correctly): "The Computer account isn't part of the primary Domain or the Password is wrong" Something likes that. In the log file there is: ------------------smb.headhunter.log-------------------------- authorise_login: TODO. split function, it's 6 levels! alex logged in as admin user (root privileges) WARNING: prs_create initialised a buffer in marshalling-mode -------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------smb.netlogon.log----------------------------- TODO: verify that the rid exists -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for helping Best Regards Alexander <Alexander@Prehypertext.de>
