So, I have this Samba PDC setup, and it's gotten to the point where a good number of my Win2K and WinXP boxes refuse to acknowledge that the PDC exists. If I logon to the Win boxes on a local account, and go to the run dialog and type \\mymachine, it prompts me for a username and password. I can then see my shares. If I logoff the local account and try and logon to the domain, I get "Domain MYDOMAIN is unavailable". So why would I have user level access available through a local account and not access to my domain through my PDC? Below is the relevant portions of the [global] section of my smb.conf -Jim ************************************************* Jim Kreuziger jkreuzig@uci.edu ************************************************* [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN preexec = csh -c `echo /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient \ -M %m -I %I` & server string = Samba %v on (%L) security = user domain logons = yes encrypt passwords = Yes password level = 3 log level = 3 log file = /samba/current/var/log.smbd.%m max log size = 2000 wins support = Yes name resolve order = lmhosts wins hosts bcast dns proxy = yes deadtime = 0 keepalive = 3600 client code page = 437 domain master = yes preferred master = yes local master = yes os level = 255 guest account = samba invalid users = daemon bin sys lp smtp uucp nuucp listen dcs consult dumper nobody veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.dbm/*.doc/*.xls socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY getwd cache = yes logon script = %U.bat logon path = \\mymachine\profile\%U utmp = True username map = /samba/current/lib/usermap.txt
