Hello guys!
I'm newbie in Linux and particularly in SAMBA. You can call me
Microsoft centric but am veering away with MS and so my boss who wishes
for me to establish a SAMBA PDC Server who will authenticate users,
provide file and print services for WInXP and Mac users.
I've read a good number of SAMBA-HOW-TOS but unfortunately i'm not
going anywhere! thus this e-mail...I'm a bit desperate and confused
with what i read.
Anyway if you'll spare some time for this... if you do it will be
deeply appreciated...thanks in advanced!
Here's my smb.conf

The domain name testdomain might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is
the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.
If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the
following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.
An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV)
resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain
testdomain.
The error was: "No DNS servers configured for local system."
(error code 0x0000267C DNS_ERROR_NO_DNS_SERVERS)
The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.testdomain

My Private LAN - Lab Setup:
1 x Intel based PC acting to be the SAMBA PDC (Red Hat Linux Enterprise
Ed 4.0)
1 x Intel based notebook (WinXP SP2)
I have no DNS or WINS in the private network.
I have downloaded the WinXP patch = ?requirenoseal = 0?
My HOSTS File at WinXP machine:
(Ip address of the Samba PDC) (NetBios name of the Samba PDC)
192.168.1.1 phoenix
Concerns & Questions:
1. Do I need WINS & DNS to set SAMBAas PDC?
2. I installed NetBeui and was able to ping the SAMBA PDC with its
NetBios name, without NetBeui I can only ping the IP but without the
NetBios name.
3. I can also ping from Samba PDC the WinXP machine.
4. I?ve already disabled the WinXP Personal Firewall Settings.
5. The WinXP in the laptop is freshly installed with the default
workgroup membership as ?WORKGROUP?
6. The Samba PDC is supposedly be the Authentication, File and Print
server.
7. Pag nag ?testparm? ako lahat naman ok at running
8. Am I missing something?
Our present network setup:
WinXP PCs and laptops who are member of ?WORKGROUP? and with
NetBIOS
over TCP/IP enabled.
