dear all, i will outline the problem im having before posting my smb.conf, just in case someone knows what to trouble-check. i have a samba PDC set-up, no firewalls, the windows machine WILL mount the shares fine, but it wont join the domain. I mean that I have entered the machine name as a trust account into both passwd and smbpasswd, and when I join the domain in win2k, it actually asks me for my username and password, and i enter my root name and password. however, it then fails. I cant figure it out, everything else works, except the final authentication to allow my win2k machine join the samba domain. 1) what ./configure options MUST be set? 2) what's the minimum global configuration? 3) what's the minimal win2k settting (i disabled WINS and set-up the LMHOSTS file to have one line, which is the samba server) thanks Sam Seaver
what version of samba are you using? if it's 2.2.8 I can send you my files...

What exactly do you mean by "it then fails", what exactly happens. Just a thought - have you tried rebooting the machine and logging in as the local administrator before you try joining the domain. It won't work if there are shares open. H.

The thing is nothing comes up in my logs at all, im posting my smb.conf below. Ive added and deleted and added again my machine and user accounts, when joining a domain from a win2k box, I actually DO get through to the domain, but it then turns away my root log-in (for first time) my smbpasswd file is in the right place and looked up ok!

Also, have you found and checked the logs yet? Does anything get written to the log when this fails? It usualy does. H.
