I am having difficulties running Samba as a PDC for WIN2K Clients. I'm
running version 2.2.5 on a RH7.3 box. Win98 is able to access shares
just fine, as is win2k if it is just a member of a workgroup, and not
a domain. I have tried both the automated process of setting up a
machine account, and the manual method. In the automated case, the
machine account is automatically created, but the smbpasswd file has
something like XXXXNOPASSWORDXXX in the password field. It appears to
be normal when I create the account manually. In both cases I have
Win2K try and join the domain, and enter root and root's smbpasswd
when prompted. After a few minutes, it finishes and gives me a message
welcoming me to the domain, and has me reboot. Once that's complete, I
try logging into the domaian, but all I ever get is a message stating
that the machine account either does not exist , or the password is
incorrect. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
