Hiya. I'm trying to get a 2.2 PDC working, and am hitting a brick wall. I've tried to make sure I'm in compliance with the 2.2 HOWTO and FAQ, but it doesn't seem to be helping. - I've added both root and my pc's "hostname" to smbpasswd, and the hostname itself to the passwd file, as per the HOWTO. - I swiped the smb.conf and /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba files from the HOWTO, and modified as per the directions for my own domain. - I can surf to the domain and the host via W2K, look at the shares, etc., BUT, when I try to add the PC to the domain (again, as per the HOWTO, and as user "root"), I get 'The following error occured validating the name "domtest". The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.' Below is my smb.conf file; feel free to point out *anything* I might be doing wrong, as I'd really, really like to get at least domain logins working. Thanks! -Ken -------------------- smb.conf file ------------------------------ [global] security = user status = yes workgroup = xantest wins server = 10.20.1.1 encrypt passwords = yes domain logons = yes logon script = scripts\%U.bat domain admin group = @adm domain admin users = root add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g machines -c Machine -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %m$ guest account = nobody share modes=no os level=65 domain master = true preferred master = true [homes] guest ok = no read only = no create mask = 0755 directory mask = 0770 oplocks = true locking = no [netlogon] path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon writeable = no guest ok = no

Hiya. I'm trying to get a 2.2 PDC working, and am hitting a brick wall.
I've tried to make sure I'm in compliance with the 2.2 HOWTO and FAQ,
but
it doesn't seem to be helping.
- I've added both root and my pc's "hostname" to smbpasswd,
and the
hostname itself to the passwd file, as per the HOWTO.
- I swiped the smb.conf and /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba files from the
HOWTO, and modified as per the directions for my own domain.
- I can surf to the domain and the host via W2K, look at the shares, etc.,
BUT, when I try to add the PC to the domain (again, as per the HOWTO,
and as user "root"), I get 'The following error occured
validating the
name "domtest". The specified domain either does not exist or could
not
be contacted.'
Below is my smb.conf file; feel free to point out *anything* I might be
doing wrong, as I'd really, really like to get at least domain logins
working.
Thanks!
