I've download a PDC guide from IBM's website, https://www6.software.ibm.com/dw/education/esdd/samba/?x=50&y=6. I've follow the description line by line, but I can't join the domain from a windows Xp professional computer. Windows Xp answer with following error message... "Can't connect to a domain controller for the domain Fah-Technet" I can ping the computer running Samba with IP-address from Windows Xp, but not with netbiosname (LinuxRH9.Fah-Technet) I can also mount a shared disk from Windows Xp (mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxx,password=yyy //Winxp/E-Disk /mnt/WinXp/E-disk Soon I get mad. How do I continue? Attach a copy of my smb.conf I need help, please best regards P-G -------------- next part -------------- # /etc/samba/smb.conf # samba configuration file # last updated: 2/28/2002 by tms [global] ;basic server settings workgroup = FAH-TECHNET netbios name = LinuxRH9 server string = Samba PDC running %v socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 ;PDC and master browser settings os level = 64 preferred master = yes local master = yes domain master = yes logon domains = yes ;security and logging settings security = user encrypt passwords = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m log level = 2 max log size = 50 hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 ;user profiles and home directory logon home = \\%L\%U\ logon drive = H: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon script = netlogon.bat # ==== shares === [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/netlogon read only = yes browseable = no write list = tom

I've exerienced similar messages like "can't connect to a domain controller.." when I installed a Samba PDC and tried to make a w2k client join the domain. Solution was, to find the 2 other computers hidden somewhere that were members of a workgroup with the same same as my freshly set up domain. The w2k client tried to join this workgroup instead of the domain, I think. I renamed the domain and everything worked (well, nearly everything..). greetings Alexander -- ------------------------------------------- agoeres _at_ lieblinx.net tel.: +49 (0)30 / 61 20 26 87 fax: +49 (0)30 / 61 20 26 89 ------------------------------------------- lieblinxNET we do software a Marwood & Thiele GbR ------------------------------------------- reichenberger stra?e 125 10999 Berlin http://lieblinx.net -------------------------------------------
