Running 2.2.7a as a Samba PDC. My root account seems to have been killed off. I can't join computers to domains, I can't add users, I can't login with a 2000 box as root. If I try and login as root I get "The system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 inthe message file for %2" . It's possible that I really pooched it. I migrated our PDC to samba from an NT4.0 box, using the various instructions regarding RIDS/SIDS. I hacked passwd.db to use lose the UID/GID to RID mapping, so i wouldn't loose the locall profiles on my network. That all worked, it's just now I have no root acct to try and add machines. If i try and add users with adduser and smbpasswd, the users shows up fine in in /etc/passwd and /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd. I can't logon as those users however. I've tried adding machines on the fly, and manually. No good. Any fixes, or is the consensus that it's hooped and I should start again. -- Hans Rasmussen Drafting/GIS Coordinator SBS Forestry Inc. 250-561-1140 _______________________________________________________ All emails incoming and outgoing from SBS Forestry Inc. are scanned by Kaspersky Antivirus.
