[Samba] Add Win2kPro Workstation to new Linux PDC
I created a new virtual Linux server running the Red Hat v7.2 distribution. After getting a MySQL/PHP application running, the next step was to add a Win2kPro Workstation to a new Linux PDC. Towards that end I modified the smb.conf file as described below to turn the virtual Linux server into a stand alone PDC. A 'MACHINE.SID' was created in the /usr/local/samba/private directory. Additionally, I created some Linux users and populated the smbpasswd file with them. When I now try to use the Network Identification tab of my workstations system properties to add it to the domain, I get an error dialog indicating that the computer cannot be added to the domain because 'the account used was a computer account. Use a 'global user or local user account to access this server'. How can I make one of the accounts that was used to populate the smbpasswd file a 'Global User' in SAMBA? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [global] smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd wins server = 172.16.0.121 domain master = True encrypt passwords = yes max log size = 0 interfaces = 172.17.60.6/255.255.255.0 printer = BHRSHP1 comment = Treasury Printer username map = /etc/samba/user.map path = /var/spool/lpd/BHRSHP1 printing = lprng update encrypted = Yes postscript = yes oplocks = no valid users = @Treasury,@illingsk,@ehmann,@wheel socket options = TCP_NODELAY admin users = @wheel logon script = %U.bat writeable = yes map to guest = Bad User domain admin group = @wheel domain logons = Yes printer admin = @ntadmin server string = Samba %v PDC on (%L). workgroup = COFRNY delete readonly = Yes netbios name = COFR3 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log load printers = No logon drive = H: os level = 64 locking = no --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
