I have a PDC which is a Sun280R with Solaris 8 running PCNetlink2.0 (effectively a WindowsNT4.0 server) I want to join a Apple G5 with MacOSX10.3.3 (Samba 3.0) as a domain member of the above PDC. It will not allow me to do this and has lots of "master browser - unknown" in the logs of the Apple. I have the IP address in the same range as the PDC and have the netmask set the same also. I can make the Apple a standalone server and can then map a drive in a windows client, but it is still not seen in "Network Neighbourhood". Has anybody had/seen these issues with Apples before and can pass on any help. Regards Tony

[Samba] Cannot connect MacOSX domain member to PDC
What is it that you have tried so far? Post your server and client smb.conf files as well as the exact error so we can get a better grasp of the problem. You should also take a look at the "Directory Access" application in /Applications/Utilities if you haven't already. It will allow you to use Active Directory or LDAP to authenticate your username/password when you login. Before you do that, though, you do need to join the domain with samba using "net ads|rpc join -S servername -U username". You might be getting the master browser errors because you are not specifying the server. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Baker [mailto:tony@onestep.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 8:51 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Cannot connect MacOSX domain member to PDC I have a PDC which is a Sun280R with Solaris 8 running PCNetlink2.0 (effectively a WindowsNT4.0 server) I want to join a Apple G5 with MacOSX10.3.3 (Samba 3.0) as a domain member of the above PDC.

[Samba] Cannot connect MacOSX domain member to PDC
There are several things wrong with your smb.conf file...
First, you should not have a netbios name and a workgroup with the same
name...I think you may be confusing yourself. There is nothing wrong
with it, but I don't think that is what you intend. Think of the
workgroup as the domain name and the netbios name as the machine name.
Your PDC Solaris machine should at least have the following:
(substitute HOME for your preferred domain name)
netbios name = Sun280
workgroup = HOME
security = domain
domain logons = Yes
domain master = Yes
preferred master = Yes
encrypt passwords = yes
And your domain member OSX machine should AT LEAST have the following:
(substitute HOME for the domain name you used above)
netbios name = G5server
workgroup = HOME
security = domain
domain logons = No
domain master = No
encrypt passwords = yes
password server = Sun280
Once you set all that up you should be able to simply call:
net join -S Sun280 -U username%password
You do not need to specify both the server name and ip address, and it
will pick up the workgroup/domain from the server which will be the same
as "HOME" in the above examples anyway. The username and password
should be of an account that has privileges to add machines to the
domain.
Also, depending on your PDC settings, you may have to create a machine
account before running "net join...".

I am not running LDAP or AD on the PDC (Sun running PCNetlink)
Is that the problem?? Will an Apple (Samba3.0) only join a domain runing
LDAP or AD??
