Hello, Samba 3.0.0/LDAP 2.1.23 RedHat 8.0 After wrestling with the probelem of attempting to join a W2K computer to domain I finally succeded only to run into another problem. First I was not able to use user "administrator" as samba admin alias root to join computers to domain.I needed to create user "root" in LDAP with: uid=root uidNumber=0 gidNumber=0 sambaSID=S-1...1000 sambaPrimaryGroup=S-1...1001 Then I was able to join to domain. When I reboot I get an error message when trying to login: error 3221356590 I can't login with any account, same message. An account must be used, I'm assuming "nobody", through the network to create authentication tokens so that any user that logs in with a valid login name in LDAP will be able to login on this machine.The machine must authenticate first prior to the user. Anyone have this problem before. Could use some insite into where to look to fix this problem. -- Kent nasve525@regis.edu kent@wareham.k12.ma.us W 508 291-3510 X122 C 508 317-2755 Tips:----------------------------------------------> "OpenOffice.org ...
