Greetings,
Yesterday, I attempted to migrate my existing samba file server, running
2.2.8a on Linux (2.4.23), which provides file sharing services to a Windows
NT domain with approximately 150 users. It has been working well for over
a year now, and other upgrades have gone off without a hitch. The samba
server connects to a windows NT PDC. The relevent snip from my smb.conf
file is:
[global]
workgroup = HYDRA
netbios name = FILESERVER
server string = Hydra Samba File Server
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
dns proxy = No
wins server = 10.1.2.20
hosts allow = 10.
security = domain
password server = *
browseable = No
With 2.2.8a (and previous versions), I was able to start smbd and nmbd and use:
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -r godzilla -U root%password -j HYDRA
Which informs me that I have joined the HYDRA domain and my users are then
able to authenticate via the Windows NT PDC.
After the upgrade to 3.0.1, which uses the same smb.conf file, I now use
the "net join" command:
net join -U root%password
which also tells me that I've joined the HYDRA domain, but users are unable
to authenticate. With no -j flag, I receive no error. With -j 2 enabled, I
receive the following error message:
[2003/12/16 20:23:57, 1] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(181)
ads_connect: Connection refused
If I force RPC connection types with "net rpc join", I receive:
[2003/12/16 20:25:12, 2] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_out(742)
error connecting to 10.1.2.20:445 (Connection refused)
The IP address of the Windows PDC, which does password authentication, is
correct.
In both 2.2.8a and 3.0.1, Samba was built with a default call to
./configure, without any arguments.
Anyone have any comments or suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Jason
