I'm trying to use Samba 2.2.3a on RedHat 7.2 for a PDC and can't get Win2k to even acknowledge that the domain exists. I am attaching my smb.conf. the error message is: "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" Output of smbclient: [root@theta samba]# smbclient -L \\theta -U bmitchel added interface ip=192.168.1.235 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.1.235 ) Password: Domain=[NIAC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.3a] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- netlogon Disk profiles Disk Files Disk Files Shared_Files Disk Shared Files Data Disk Data IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba Server) HP4000 Printer HP_Color Printer bmitchel Disk Home Directories Server Comment --------- ------- BOB BRANDY DALE ORION Samba Server THETA Samba Server Workgroup Master --------- ------- NIAC THETA smb.conf: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2002/03/06 11:54:58 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = NIAC netbios name = THETA server string = Samba Server security = user encrypt passwords = Yes unix password sync = Yes log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain admin group = ntadmins add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u logon script = startup.bat logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u logon drive = H: logon home = \\homeserver\%u domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = True domain master = True local master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind separator = + [netlogon] path = /home/samba/netlogon write list = root [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No TIA -- Robert J.

Now I really would like to have 1. a real Win2K PDC to nmap to see if it listens on that address 2. the dolt at m$ who invented that bullsh** just to annoy the living shit out of anyone who wants to use samba. 3. a cross, some long spikes, thorns. bye, MH
