my problem. I appericiate any help in advance! I am running Samba 2.2.11 on a
RedHat Linux 7.3 Server, connected to a network of Windows 2000 & XP
Machines. I want to configure Samba to be the Domain Controller for my other
machines. Before I was getting an error on a old copy of Samba (2.2.2a i think),
then I upgraded to 2.2.11, and when I run the smbpasswd -j domainname , I get
this error:

>>I don't want to have samba rely on Windows2k as the domain
controller, so this is why I don't have it set Security = Domain. If anyone
can please provide me with some very helpful information or a small working
config file, please do.

I supose you should have
workgroup = Hinata-Inn-NT
instead of
Domain name = Hinata-Inn-NT
but we (the list) could give you more help if you would post your actual
smb.conf, so that we could tell you wat's wrong with it.
Other question: what kind of password backend are you wanting to work
with tdbsam, ldapsam, or other.
