Hi, I am a newbie trying to make Samba work in my small home network. I have configured the Linux machine (RH 7.2, Enigma) as the Domain PDC and log on server, updated and synchronized the smbpasswd file with passwd file. Yet, when I attempt to log on from windows 9.x machine I get either of the following messages. 1. computer name invalid 2. incorrect password or log on server has denied access to you. when I test the configuration by typing 1. smbclient -NL //win.9x machine, I get all the shares listed. 2. smbclient -NL //linux server, I get the following error message. session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.). All tests on win 9.x machines are OK. Linux server does not let me set up a session . Where am I going wrong?? Global section of my smb.conf is listed below. [global] remote announce = 192.168.0.255 192.168.2.44 interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24 127.0.0.1/24 passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u domain master = True printing = lprng dns proxy = No hosts equiv = /etc/hosts protocol = NT1 logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U encrypt passwords = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 wins support = true hosts allow = 192.168.0.1-12/24 127. password server = * security = domain domain logons = Yes unix password sync = Yes server string = Samba Server workgroup = MOTHERINDIA.COM netbios name = SHREE log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log guest account = pcguest os level = 65 Please help.

Hi all, I am having trouble setting up samba to act as a PDC. I am fairly new to red hat linux, and have just installed RH 7.3 running the default configuration. I updated samba to 2.2.7 using the online updating feature and followed a step by step tutorial to configure samba to become a PDC. When i try to connect to the domain with windows XP pro, it displays the message "a domain controller for the domain mydomain can not be located" when i choose details it says The error was: "DNS request not supported by name server." (error code 0x0000232C RCODE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain The network is simple, one windows XP pro machine with IP 192.168.1.6 and one RH 7.3 linux machine with IP 192.168.1.5. Connections are working because both machines succuessfully ping each other. I ran testparm with no errors and have verified the samba server is running properly with "smbclient //mymachine/user -U user -W mydomain" I downloaded and ran the SignOrSeal reg patch for XP, and also disabled the "Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always)" option in the local security. I have triple checked the tutorial guide with my config file, and have manually created the required accounts What could be the problem? I have seen other people on this list with the same problem, but the threads seem to die out without a solution.
