Hi, I'm experiencing a strange behavior when joining an NT domain. My configuration is a Sun workstation under Solaris8 with samba2.0.7. My share for testing is named : " myshare ". I want to put my samba server in the domain called NTSSIC and use encrypted passwords. So i used swat to do this. I followed the " HowTo " (stop daemons, use server manager under NT PDC, launch smbpasswd -j NTSSIC -r PDC_name and restart daemons). If the file smbpasswd exists and contains a line with " root " account -> It works (but it's not automatic, i have to log one time with root login). If i remove smbpasswd to use Nt accounts and PDC authentication, the samba server is never saw in my domain. Even if i reproduce the " HowTo ", it says " joined NTSSIC " but in reality it doesn't appear in the domain (domain : unknown). Any NT users are not able to mount " myshare " and when " smbpasswd " exists only those who are in this file can mount it.. So can anyone could explain me what i missed ? Thanks Fabien.
