samba - Jun 2005 - Creating a PDC

I am working my way through "Samba-3 by Example". I have created all
the
simple samba servers with ease as I have done them in the past with 
trial and error... this book makes it easy now.

I'm stuck.

While on page 118 it says to not go further without validating.

Well, The server is there and when browsing the network I can see the 
Samba server.  When I try to connect it wants to authenticate.

I put in MY user ID and Password and it just asks for it again. If I put 
in a bad username it will fail and tell me the username and password 
conflict with and existing set of credentials. I don't have any mapped 
drives to this server.

Can some one assist me?

I have followed the book on everything except the name and location of 
the shares.

Have you created an account for the computer and the user on the samba 
machine ?

Do you mean you have problems joining the domain or just browsing shares?

In any case, perhaps the first thing you might want to check are the 
Samba logs located in /var/log/samba

There, look for YOUR_MACHINENAME.log.

Make sure you have log level set in smb.conf (3 is usually a good value).

Try removing YOUR_MACHINENAME.log, and then try to do the action that 
causes you trouble - the log will appear again and you will probably 
have a clue what is wrong.

Hope this helps a bit.
