[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?
