I have been working with samba trying to get PDC functionality out of it. I tried first - version 3 from samba.org then I tried the samba that comes with rh7.3 and the last version I have been trying to get to work is the latest samba-tng. It has been straight forward getting file sharing to work, but the PDC part just won't work. I can manaully create a machine account on the linux box in the passwd and smbpasswd as machine$. I can get on the nt4.0 box and join the domain. When I reboot after joining the domain I try to log in but I get a message that I it can't find the domain server. Anyone have a working smb.conf file for domains? Here is my current smb.conf [global] workgroup = mygroup netbios name = myname server string = samba %v interfaces = lo eth0 bind interfaces only = yes security = user encrypt passwords = yes domain master = yes domain logons = yes local master = yes prefered master = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* pam password change = yes obey pam restrictions = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 # if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or # per user logon script # run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine) ; logon script = %m.bat # run a specific logon batch file per username ; logon script = %U.bat ; where is a user's home directory and where should it ; be mounted at? logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%u # Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT) # %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username # You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U time server = true # delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel %u # add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes
