[Samba] Can not register W2K computer (WXP and W98 without problems)
I can NOT have a W2KPro computer to reconnect to a RH9 Samba PDC server domain after initial "registration". (I don't have any problems with WXPPro) NetBios name of the W2KPro computer: PRUEBA RH9 PDC Samba domain name: SAMBA When "registering" the W2KPro computer to the domain for the first time, everything seems to work fine (even though it takes longer than usual to get the "Welcome to domain Samba" window). The entries in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/samba/smbpasswd get created: prueba$:x:504:100::/dev/null:/bin/false (/etc/passwd) prueba$:!!:12311:0:99999:7::: (/etc/shadow) prueba$:504:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy y:[W ]:LCT-3F6761AE: (/etc/samba/smbpasswd) The Samba log (prueba.log) for the W2K computer does not report any problems. After reboot, after typing a valid domain user and password, I get the error message "The system can not initiate a session because either there is no account for this computer in the primary domain or the password for this account is incorrect" To add to my perplexity, if I log into the W2KPro computer using a local(windows) username/password identical to a valid samba account I can browse through the domain via the windows Network Neighborhood without having to supply any further username or password. I can even browse through the Samba "home" directory (linux box) of such username/password. I?m using the "add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u" on-the-fly method in smb.conf (which, by the way, has been working just fine for WXPPro computers) I've also tried manual creation of the /etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd entries with the same results I've even tried modifying the W2KPro registry parameters in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SYSTEM|CurrentControlSet|Service|Netlogon|Parameters] as I did for WXPPro, no luck either. Further yet, I?ve tried to "sniffer-debug" the unsuccessful re-registration of the W2KPro box vs. a successful re-registration of a WXPPro box and can not find what the problem is. Any ideas why this is happening and what else could/should I do/try ???? Thanks gals and guys !!!! _________________________ Ricardo Martinezgarza F.

[Samba] Can not register W2K computer (WXP and W98 without problems)
Hi, I had the same problem and the following steps executed on the Win2K system as Administrator did it for me: Start the Administrative Tools (Start / Settings / Control Panel / Administrative Tools). From there start the Local Security Policy. In the Local Security Policy open Local Policies and then Security Options. Disable the following entries: Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (Always) Domain member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (when possible) Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible) Domain member: Require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key In the Group Policy Editor (C:\windows\system32\gpedit.msc) enable the following entry: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\do not check for user ownership of roaming profiles folders Best regards, Reiner.> -----Original Message----- > From: samba-bounces+reiner=buehl.net@lists.samba.org > [mailto:samba-bounces+reiner=buehl.net@lists.samba.org] On > Behalf Of Ricardo Martinezgarza > Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 10:26 PM > To: samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: [Samba] Can not register W2K computer (WXP and W98 > without problems) > > > I can NOT have a W2KPro computer to reconnect to a RH9 Samba > PDC server > domain after initial "registration".
