Hi... I've installed samba3 from source onto a SuSE 8.1 system... I didn't do anything special when compiled, just a regular ./configure; make; make install... Now I added the following to the smb.conf file... security = domain workgroup = tssi password server = orl-fps netbios name = testbed server string = testbed (Samba3 source) socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No dns proxy = No idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind separator = + winbind cache time = 15 ldap ssl = no log level = 2 os level = 10 [Tomcat] path = /var/lib/tomcat comment = Tomcat browseable = yes read only = No guest ok = no writeable = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = no read only = No guest ok = no writeable = yes [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles profile acls = yes writeable = yes browseable = no guest ok = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes Then started smbd and winbindd.... Did the following to join the server to the domain... net join -S TSSI -Uaramos It gives me the following ... Unable to find a suitable server Unable to find a suitable server With the same configuration on a SuSE 9.1 server that already comes with samba3 worked fine, is there an option I should add when compiling or something in the conf file that I have to add in the source? I've been trying to figure it out for the last couple of weeks on my own with no success, so I'm asking for help!!!
