[Samba] Win XP and Win 98 problem working together with Samba as PDC
Hello, I'm running samba 2.2.3a at Mdk 8.1 server as PDC in a small business network. There is a lot of windows 98 clients in it and they all work fine with samba. I've tryed to join my Windows XP Profesional to the domain. After installing a registry patch for XP , creating machine account for win xp machine in samba, changing the domain name for win xp and login in as root i succeed. I received a welcome message for joining in a domain and i could log into it as existing samba user but the login script doesn't execute. Also I have other more important problem with working in a domain. When I try to find server i can view the list of shares defind in smb.conf and auto loaded printers BUT when i try to click on the share ( to witch I have all rights ) to view files and dirs in it i receive "\\server\share refers to a location that is unavailable.It could be on a hard drive in this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet ot your networ, and they try again. If it is still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location." . I read samba log files and I notice that win xp machine log complanes that could not find Desktop.ini... Insted of this i've tryed to execute files in the shares. I couldn't see the files and directoryes but after i knew the full path to it i could start them writing in a command prompt absolute path \\server\share\dir\file and file executes... After reading lots of maling lists arhives and testing different global options in smb.conf i discovered that "nt smb support = No" makes my XP to work fine in a domain I can login view shares and there content and work with it. Unfortunately this makes all Win 98 clients not to work fine, they can log on but they can view only files saved directly in a share and not subdirectoryes and files in it... If "nt smb support = Yes (by default) Win 98 clients works and win xp displays this error message. Please, could someone help me to find out how all clients win 98 and xp can work with samba together without problems ? Here is my smb.conf file : Thanks in advance, Nadia [global] workgroup = WG netbios name = Server server string = NT server encrypt passwords = Yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast time server = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = lpstat domain admin group = @root @admin logon script = %U.bat logon path = \\Server\profiles\%U logon home = \\Server\%U\.profile domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = True domain master = True dns proxy = No wins support = Yes admin users = admin hosts allow = 10.0.1. 127. nt acl support = No printing = cups veto files = /.*/ [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/samba/netlogon browseable = No [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles guest ok = Yes browseable = No ........
