hello,
I have a RH 7.1 box running samba-2.2.4-2 acting as a PDC to our LAN.
For the most part all our clients are 95/98 and NT 4.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I want to add a Domain User
to a local group on a Win2k box it gives me the error:
"unable to lookup user names for display."
Now, I can add myself (the one logged in) to the group on the Win2k box,
but any other user I try to add gets that error message. My user is a
super user that is automatically given admin rights on the machine and
it seems I should be able to add more users than just me to the group
just like on NT 4. If I slide over to an NT 4 box and try the same
thing... adding a Domain user to the local Power Users group other than
my user it works just fine. I can add as many as I please. On the
Win2k box if I have the Domain user log in one time and logoff I can
then log in to the Domain as my superuser and add them to the group. It
seems to like the fact that they have logged into the workstation before
I can add them. On a side note... I have upgraded to samba-2.2.7 on a
clone of that server and still have the same problems. I would think if
its not a problem doing it with NT 4 then you should be able to do the
same in 2K. Of course, thats not the case right now with my setup. My
question to anyone who can help me... is this this normal for 2K at the
present time? Or is there something else wrong that I need to fix?
Thanks
