I have a server running samba 2.2.0 downloaded from the cvs last thursday. The system is configured as a PDC per David Bannon's HowTo. I have a W2K workstation. I want to be able to authenticate users who are in the samba smbpasswd file but not set up as users on the W2K workstation. I can authenticate and log in as long as the user on the samba system is also a user on the workstation. I have a user base of roughly 1500, and I do not want to have to manually replicate all of those users to every public system on my campus. I can include a copy of my debugging log to show what happens when a user that is on the samba server but not workstation tries to log on to the domain from the workstation. The workstation is joined to the domain. The workstation returns an error stating that the netlogon service is not running on this system. Any help that can be rendered would be greatly appreciated, but I am starting to get the feeling that a user on the samba PDC also has to be a user on the workstation in order to log in.
