Hi, I'm trying to replace an NT SBS box with a RH5.2 box, and things are proceeding quite well, save a few samba troubles. I've found that the NT4WS (SP4) clients can log in if told to use a samba machine as a "workgroup", but that they can not find a domain controller if told to use "domain" logons. (They have the registry password encryption hack installed.) log.nmb records "Samba is now a domain controller for EHR", or similar, and after c-a-d'ing the NT box, the login box appears almost immediately. Filling in suitable details and hitting "log in" (or whatever it says), however causes the machine to sit there for ~20 secs and then announce that it can't find a domain controller and that the user might not see desktop changes made since last logon. I don't have the smb.conf to hand, but there's nothing particularly unusual about it. I can find and supply it on demand.. Is there any particular reason why the samba-1..18pN shipped with RH5.2 should do this? Or should I try again with the v2.0 betas? Matthew.

The 2.0 betas have UNSUPPORTED domain controller code, but you're on your own there. The domain controller functionality should be supported in later versions. -- Scott D.
