[Samba] PDC and windows xp domain joining - root user does not exist
I am trying to set up a samba PDC, and I have followed many FAQ's and HOWTO's ive found online. all seem to be just about the same.. So, I made a config up (at the end of this email) then I did the following: added users/machines as such: (just trying to get it to work, will spice it up later) useradd test$ passwd -l test$ smbpasswd -a -m test smbpasswd root (entered a password twice...) Now... I went to the windows xp machine, changed some registry settings (windows xp with service pack 2, BTW.) then I attempted to join the domain, entered 'TEST' as the domain, and a prompt came up asking me for the username and password required to join the domain.. entered root and the root password and... it tells me: 'the specified user does not exist' now, thats damned strange... so I create another unix user, and then another samba user.. I call this user 'test' with a password 'test' so, I try to use that, and it tells me access denied... so I can understand that.. I try to enter root with no password, and it tells me the username or password is invalid.. I expected that as well, I guess. im at a loss. I honestly dont know what to do. my thing is, at work we are considering switching off of novell in favor of samba, so I best get to know it im off to a rocky start. I hope that someone on list has an idea. thanks in advance :) here is my smb.conf, mostly copied from examples: [global] workgroup = TEST netbios name = SAMBAPDC server string = Samba %v on %L log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%L max log size = 1000 time server = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 logon script = logon.bat logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u domain logons = Yes os level = 255 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes [netlogon] path = /home/samba/netlogon browseable = No [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles read only = No create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No [data] path = /home/samba/data read only = No create mask = 0750 directory mask = 0750 guest ok = Yes

It has to be the same like the machine account of cource, probably 'test' in your case. I saw that you called the workgroup the same. My win workstations complain if have machine with same name as domain. Try calling domain test1 and machine test for instance. I also noticed that sometimes a win machine has to be restarted before joining a domain .... I don't know why..... You can also try make a WinXP SP2 a workgroup machine before joining to the domain and test user root and password.....
