samba - Dec 2002 - Integrating a samba server in a samba controlled domain

Hi !

I have followed the Samba-Howto, but I still have some problems.

Our network is composed of Win2K stations and two samba servers (2.2.5) 
running under SuSE Linux 8.1. 

HIROSHIMAN is configured as PDC (domaine CHERYLNET) and everything is running 
fine, from login to share and printer access.

VLOUCHI is a second file server and its workgroup (thus domain) is also 
CHERYLNET ; security is set to domain and password server to HIROSHIMAN.

The goal is that VLOUCHI shares the same userbase than HIROSHIMAN

After having logged on on the W2K station, when I go to HIROSHIMAN, everything 
works fine. But when I first try to go to the VLOUCHI server, I am asked to 
give in a login/pwd. I cannot connect to the server even if a provide a pair 
which I know to exist on the PDC.

I also have create a Linux account for my test user on VLOUCHI, but this does 
not help neither.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kind regards,
Gerd C. Michalke

Have you correctly configured Winbind?

If you haven't the second machine won't be able to authenticate domain
users
against the first.

Read the winbind section in the how-to.

I rewrite you mail from list :

You have not yet joined the Samba machine to the domain, so the domain
controller doesn't know the machine yet. Here's what I understand
you'll
need
to do; others may have more to say on the subject:

Use smbpasswd (as root) to add the machine VLOUCHI to the domain. There are
two
    ways this is done:

    a. If the computer's trust account is already set up on the domain
        controller, do:
> smbpasswd -j DN
where DN is the name of the domain you're joining.

   b. If the trust account is not set up on the PDC, do this:
> smbpasswd -j DN -U <username>
where <username> is a name authorized to add computers to the domain. If
you
don't have such a username, you'll have to get a suitable admin to add
the
trust account on the PDC and then do step a above.

HTH,

Ray Simard

Hi again !

OK, after hacking a bit, that's how I solved the issue

- follow the instructions in the Winbind Howto and joining a Domain with a 
linux box. This is all to be found in the PDF on the Samba.org site
- and : use a wins server.

I set up the PDC as a WINS server (I am I running against a Wall doing this 
?), and set up the VLOUCHI server to use the PDC as WIns Server.

It seems to work.

Is it OK I did it that way ?

Have a nice day !

Regards,
Gerd Michalke
