I am running RH8 and samba 2.2.7 and have been working to get the PDC running for about 4 days. I initially got it working but then transfered my local xp profile to it and it has not worked since. I receive the message that the domain controller is unavailable. I am at my wits end and frustrated that I do not understand the log files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My smb.conf and log files are below.
