One more thing I forgot to mention. The chapter calls for editing
/etc/resolv.conf, but in my case it won't stay edited--it keeps getting
set back to an original form (for searching my ISP) on every reboot.
Thanks again.

I guess I'm ate up with dumb because I'm having a great deal of
difficulty with this chapter.
I'm running Samba v 3.0.14a on an FC3 machine. I've got two basic
problems: one centers on my DNS set up and the other is an authenticated
logon problem. With /etc/nsswitch.conf set to "hosts: dns," I cannot
ping my samba server--"Host not found." Nor does <host
lserver1.test.biz> (which appears in my /etc/hosts file) resolve the
name (incidentally, "host -f ..." just tells me the f is an illegal
option). WINS seems to resolve OK (at least the test for that in the
chapter passes). I've checked my files several times, and I can find no
error in them.
The other problem is running smbclient //lserver1/accounts -U ehines.
I'm invited to give the password, so that part is OK, but when I do, I
just get an NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE message. ehines is the owner of
accounts and a member of the group that owns accounts. I think this
goes back to my logon file in /scripts (per the smb.conf set up), but
I'm clueless as to what should be in that file. That file currently has
the following contents:
net time \\lserver1 /set /yes
net use h: /home
net use p: \\lserver1\accounts
Any help on these two would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at that for example logon script settings. Regards Geoff Scott
Are you using dhcp to get an IP address on that server? Every time dhcpcd gets an IP address it overwrites the resolv.conf. So I think that's why it's changing every time you reboot. dhcpcd can be run with the -R option to prevent it from overwriting resolv.conf (check out the dhcpcd man page). I'm not sure where you'd specify that as i don't use FC. But it's probably easier to just give that machine a static IP. Chris Eric Hines wrote:> One more thing I forgot to mention.

My WINS does seem to be, tested with nsswitch set solely to wins. Now it's set back to hosts: files dns wins. I've been in log.nmbd, log.smbd, log.winbindd, and smbd. Smbd yells about "Unable to open TDB rid database!" There's a pretty clear hint; I just haven't had time to pursue it.>>>There was a thread titled logon.bat that started a bit before this >>>one.
