I have been tasked to be one of the main targets, er, I mean, guys to facilitate our changeover from a rather aged Novell server to Samba. My boss set up Samba 2.0.7 (RPM shows "samba-common-2.0.7-4" with an RPM -q). I am trying to convert it to PDC functionality, and am having difficulty. In the log I see this: "smbd/password.c:authorise_login(826) rejected invalid user nobody" and on the client side (a Win98 box for testing right now; will eventually be both 95 & 98, as well as NT boxen), I see this error: "The domain password you supplied is not correct or access to your domain server has been denied". I have a netlogon share, as well as entries in etc/passwd: pc1014$:x:511:1008:Test PC:/dev/null:/dev/null and in smbpasswd: pc1014$:511:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[N U ]:LCT-3ABF98A4: Thought I am not sure where that "NO PASSWORD" part came from... I am sure I am missing something simple here... Attached is our current smb.conf file.

I was able to log into my Samba as PDC when I added a mapping to a UNIX group on the "valid users" line in the Globals page on SWAT. I still have other problems, but will wait to bother the list with them until I am at the banging-my-head-on-the-wall stage. :-) Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions & help. - john --On Thursday, March 29, 2001 1:33 PM -0800 John Benedetto <jbenedet@unm.edu> wrote:> I have been tasked to be one of the main targets, er, I mean, guys to > facilitate our changeover from a rather aged Novell server to Samba. > > My boss set up Samba 2.0.7 (RPM shows "samba-common-2.0.7-4" with an RPM > -q).
