Hello everybody,
I have been trying to set up a PDC in samba. As I continue to make what
I think are advancements I am still nowhere near having things running.
My problem is as follows:
I have been in the past using Samba as a simple file server on our
Workgroup and decided that I would convert this server over to being a
PDC. After configuring and reconfiguring the smb.conf I managed to get
things to a point that when I make computer name changes in the
WindowsXP system control panel to be a member of my newly created domain
it allows me to log in and connect as root. However I can not seem to
get it then to allow any sort of user login to the Domain at all, not
even as root. /var/log/messages tells me "unable to authenticate" or
something along those lines, I have added the machine and the user to
smbpasswd. This is what I know to do so far and would greatly
appreciate any help offered. I will include a copy of my smb.conf if
that is any help.
