Hi There,
I've searched and searched. Then searched some more. Came up with
nothing. So here I am.
I installed Samba as a PDC as per the HowTo, here:
http://www.tiltingatlinux.com/2014/04/basic-samba4-domain-controler-on-ubuntu.html
Thing is: The workgroup isn't coming out right:
$ smbclient -L localhost -U%
Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu)
sysvol Disk
netlogon Disk
Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu]
Server Comment
--------- -------
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
WORKGROUP MYHOST
But:
$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
realm = mydomain.com
netbios name = MYHOST
server role = active directory domain controller
dns forwarder = 127.0.0.1
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/mydomain.com/scripts
read only = No
[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
read only = No
Can somebody lend me a Clue?
Thanks,
Jim

I'm running bind9. The server is also the primary (only, actually) nameserver on the LAN.

I'm confused as to why any of that would affect how smbd advertises what workgroup it's in? Thanks, Jim
