[Samba] W2k joining a domain controlled by samba 3.0.2a (PDC)
Hi all,
I've just setup a samba(PDC)+ldap-(no)winbind and it works OK for W98
client, but W2K client isn't able to join the domain.
my checklist:
1. ldap works:
example$ ldapsearch -LL -x -b 'ou=KAROWA' -s sub
'(&(objectclass=*)(uid=lenec))'
**ldap*> dn: uid=lenec,ou=People,ou=KAROWA
**ldap*> uid: lenec
**ldap*> objectClass: sambaSamAccount
**ldap*> objectClass: posixAccount
**ldap*> objectClass: account
**ldap*> sambaAcctFlags: [U ]
**ldap*> sambaSID: S-1-5-21-3658755377-320826499-3197562212-1081
**ldap*> sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-3658755377-320826499-3197562212-512
2. libnss-ldap works:
example$ getent passwd ; getent group
**pass*> lenec:x:1081:513:User Lenec:/home/lenec:/bin/false
**pass*> MORIA$:x:121:65534:Komputer MORIA:/root:/bin/false
**group*> domainadmins:x:512:lenec
**group*> domainguests:x:514:501
**group*> domainusers:x:513:
3. pam-ldap works: user 'lenec' can access samba shares AND can change
his
password from a W98 client machine while logged-in to 'domain' (a
tree-field login window when loggin into W98).
Now, when I test this with W2K: selecting "My_Comp->
(right-click)Propert-> Network_ident-> (second-button-from-top)Properties
->(lower-box/I-select)Domain=WORKGROUP"; I'm asked then for a domain
administrator login and password. So, the questions are:
(I) Who is this? Where in SAMBA configration I tell samba that THIS is
domain administrator (capable of doing the above)? (In my 'best gues', I
have made user lenec a member of "domainadmins" with rid=512, but may
be
it has nothing to do with admin priviledges?).
(II) Then, in samba logfiles (at the end of the e-mail - exerpts, the
whole thing is 1MB) I can see, that samba at certain points fails to
accept 'somebodies' credencials. I cannot figure out whos credencials
they
are, and how to change it :(.
But, I also tried to add the workstation account directly at samba BEFORE
I try to execute the above at the workstation itself. The result is:
example$ getent passwd WYDAWNIC-LDC0LG\$
**pass*> WYDAWNIC-LDC0LG$:x:60000:65534:Komputer \
WYDAWNIC-LDC0LG:/home/hosts:
to no avail - the W2K still gets decline from samba.
Any clue what's wrong here?
Thenx,

And, of course, the LDAP dn in the smbldap_conf.pm needs to have sufficient access to the LDAP server.> (II) Then, in samba logfiles (at the end of the e-mail - exerpts, the > whole thing is 1MB) I can see, that samba at certain points fails to > accept 'somebodies' credencials.
