Hi, I have got it working upto making my linux file system (for each user) visible in windows (NT/2000/98/..) via workgroup. But I am stuck at making samba the pdc. I want to be able to login via samba into windows m/cs. I have created an account for m/c running windows 2000 (cs-lb-99$) with passwd cs-lb-99, same with smbpasswd, as in your instructions. Workgroup membership works without any trouble, but when I try to make it part of the domain, I am asked for a login and a passwd. In /etc/group I have: root:x:0:root adm:x:4:root,adm,daemon,chittaLocal,chitta None of root, chittaLocal or chitta are accepted. These are some lines from /etc/samba/smb.conf; workgroup = SambaCSWG domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon drive = H domain admin group = root @adm domain guest group = nobody @guest wins support = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes # Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon guest ok = yes writable = no share modes = no $ rpm -q samba samba-2.2.3a-10mdk What is going wrong? What do I need to do to get the PDC feature working. Regards, Chitta
