Hi all, I have been looking at the lists here looking for the correct procedure for logging on a Win XP client to a samba 2.2.2 PDC. I'm running Red Hat 7.2 with samba-2.2.2 (RPM install) The trouble I'm getting is that the XP box can connect to the PDC (root user in smbpasswd), and adds a user. Then the XP box requests a reboot for the changes to take effect. Once at the login screen I type a UID and Pass of a valid user within /etc/passwd and smbpasswd. I then receive a message that the PDC can't be found or the user is not valid. I also cannot logon with the root user. I can remember getting a message along the way on a previous attempt that secure communication on the machine trust account had not been set up. But the machine account has been added to smbpasswd using the "ON THE FLY" addition script from the how-to in section 8. Logging on as a local user I can map a share using the UID and Pass that was rejected for PDC Login (Win2k joins and logs in ok) A reg hack was suggested in the list where the .reg file was in documents folder of samba, however Win XP rejected the .reg file with the error message "The Key Selected Is Invalid" (WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg). My questions are :- 1) Has anyone managed to get a Win XP box to login with a roaming profile? 2) If so was the reg hack method used? 3) If so how can I get the reg to accept the reg file ? 4) If all else fails ...... err ......... HELP!!! :o) Steve
Hejsa/hello Steve, reply on Monday, January 21, 2002, 11:04:30 PM: Steve> 1) Has anyone managed to get a Win XP box to login with a roaming profile? yep .. Steve> 2) If so was the reg hack method used? yep again :) Steve> 3) If so how can I get the reg to accept the reg file ? try editing it and be sure that aren't any linux style linebreak (little boxes) are gone and only windows style linebreaks are present or you could do a search on signorseal in the reg and change ALL dwords to 0 .. then it should work ...

Hello Steve, I was experiencing the same behaviour of Win XP in relation to Samba 2.2.2 - here is your solution: the registry modification. The reason why the .reg file you received earlier did not work is probably due to an incorrect regedit version header at the top of the file. I think the file you tried to use was generated by someone who works with an older version of regedit. I generated a new registry export for you - you can use the attached file or modify your registry manually (please check the file before use to ensure that I am not trying to pull some dirty trick on you... I hereby include the contents of the .reg file: ---------- SNIP ---------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Netlogon\Parameters] "DisablePasswordChange"=dword:00000000 "maximumpasswordage"=dword:0000001e "requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000 "requirestrongkey"=dword:00000000 "sealsecurechannel"=dword:00000001 "signsecurechannel"=dword:00000001 "Update"="no" ---------- SNIP ---------------- Good luck to you, and please let me know if it worked.
