[Samba] Samba PDC on RH9 w/ W2k SP4 Client.

Hi Folks,

  I have a RH9 machine running Samba 3.0.0 (Had the same situation when
  running 2.2.8) and I am not being able to make my W2K SP4 clients or XP
  join the PDC.

  I keep receiving the following message:


   "The following error occurred validating the name "ADIDOMAIN"
   The condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For information 
   about troubleshooting common DNS lookup problems, please see Microsoft 
   Web Site: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=5171

   The Specified domain either does no exist or could not be contacted."

My first tough was that nmb was broken, and the netbios name was not
being setup correctly.
But I did the following:


Tried to find the domain:

[root@adilnx02 root]# nmblookup adidomain
added interface ip=10.179.8.90 bcast=10.179.8.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
querying adidomain on 10.179.8.255
Got a positive name query response from 10.179.8.90 ( 10.179.8.90 )
10.179.8.90 adidomain<00>


Tried to find the client:

[root@adilnx02 root]# nmblookup imageadi
added interface ip=10.179.8.90 bcast=10.179.8.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
querying imageadi on 10.179.8.255
Got a positive name query response from 10.179.8.149 ( 10.179.8.149 )
10.179.8.149 imageadi<00>

both are working!

Then I tough it was probably something to do with my client. For some
reason, my client was not being able to see my domain. Then I tried:

net use h: \\adidomain\homes /user:myuser 
ping adidomain

and both works!

Checked my services: (/etc/services)

netbios-ns      137/tcp                         # NETBIOS Name Service
netbios-ns      137/udp
netbios-dgm     138/tcp                         # NETBIOS Datagram
Service
netbios-dgm     138/udp
netbios-ssn     139/tcp                         # NETBIOS session service
netbios-ssn     139/udp
microsoft-ds    445/tcp
microsoft-ds    445/udp

seens okay.

Checked the proccess:


root      5807  0.0  1.0  9620 2580 ?        S    14:26   0:00 smbd -D

seens okay also.

    profile acls = yes


[homes]
  comment           = Home Directories
  browseable        = no
  writeable         = yes


Does not looks like I have a problem here. testparm is happy also.


I did my homework by googling and looking for things in the maillist.
Found lot of info on SP4 + Samba.
Things I tried (All the combinations of the following were tried):

- Disable LMSHOSTS
- Add samba server to DNS configuration
- Add samba server to wins configuration
- Change the netlogon\parameters thing on the REGEDIT, even knowing its
only for windows XP pro.


And its still not working, still giving that DNS message.

Is there anything else I could try? Do any of you guys have experience in
this scenario? 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,

  Emannuel Silva

UPDT: [Samba] Samba PDC on RH9 w/ W2k SP4 Client.

Hi again,

  Just FYI, I was pretty sure that the problem was SP4 related and
  rolledback to SP2... and guess what?
  Still not working, still receiving the same DNS error message.

Any feedback will be appreciated greatly.

  Thank you,

    Emannuel Silva.

UPDT: [Samba] Samba PDC on RH9 w/ W2k SP4 Client.

for win2k there is no difference with service packs to a samba pc
did you checked that you have no firewall involved?
you can switch out for testing to dns errors if you make hosts entries for
both systems
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g workstations -s
the line above is for version 2.2.8a to create machine accounts on the fly,
the syntax changed for version 3, are you sure what version you running?

UPDT: [Samba] Samba PDC on RH9 w/ W2k SP4 Client.

Hi,

  Tried that, client an server can ping each other's netbios name. But I
