Dear all I have succeded to configure my SAMBA server as a PDC as tou see here Domain=[INFO6] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24-7.fc6] Server Comment --------- ------- SER6 serveur samba 3.0.24-7.fc6 Workgroup Master --------- ------- INFO6 SER6 But, when I try to connect my XP client to the domain, an error message tells me that windows cannot fiond the master of the domain INFO6. I have although, configured samba to support wind resolution. Can you help me to check out this problem. Regards Adel ps: here are the smb.conf and the pic of the error (sorry, it is in french) [root@esstt ~]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2007/11/05 17:12:58 [global] workgroup = info6 netbios name = ser6 server string = serveur samba %v log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 logon script = netlogon.bat logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon drive = H: os level = 65 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes name resolve order = wins bcast hosts wins support = Yes [homes] comment = Repertoire personnel read only = No browseable = No [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No [netlogon] path = /home/netlogon browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No
