I got a NT PDC and an Samba server (ver. 2.2.3a) that participates in the domain
'NT_DOMAIN'.
The Samba server provide file and print sharing to my private network, but it
authenticates user indirectly via the 'NT_1' PDC.
All the PC clients (Win98) were configured to logon to "workgroup"
instead of
domain.This has been always fine until some guies brought in XP Home Edition
(pre-installed in there own new notebook).
Though I had configures these XPs to participate in the 'NT_DOMAIN'
workgroup,
they failed to logon to my samba server.
The following is the log file from 'smbd':
smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1572)
domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user vcPM1 in domain
DEBBY-NB to Domain controller NT-1. Error was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER.
The strange thing is that the reported domain name is 'DEBBY-NB' (in
fact, this
is the machine name of the client PC) instead of 'NT_DOMAIN' . Is the
XP client
incorrectly tried to logon using this domain name or Samba is not able to
correctly decode the logon request message from XP ?
The following is excerpt from the relevant settings in my samba.conf file.
protocol = NT1
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
printing = bsd
load printers = no
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
security = domain
password server = NT-1
workgroup = NT_DOMAIN
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = no
wins server = NT-1.my-domain
os level = 64
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
dns proxy = yes
wins proxy = no
Can anyone help me?
