Hello all, I've set up samba as a PDC in FreeBSD 5.1-release. I seemed to
have no problems joining my computer to the domain as it said "Welcome to
the domain" but when I try and log in it says it can't contact the
domain
controller or the domain account doesn't exist. Can anyone offer any help on
how to fix this?
Here is my smb.conf.
Kind regards,
Elvar

If you are, there is a reg hack that needs to be applied that will allow CXP to join a samba PDC. It is available here: http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Registry/WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg Regards, Mark Samba Setup Guide: www.samba.netfirms.com My gpg public key: www.samba.netfirms.com/gnupg/gpg_public.asc
Ok, thanks go to Jason Balicki and Mark for letting me know about the WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg fix. That was definitely one of my problems. The other was a pooched smbpasswd file. It seems to be working now. Thanks! Regards, Elvar -lick your wounds
