Dear colleagues, I?m trying to replace an NT 4.0 PDC with a Samba 3 RedHat Enterprise Server. Following some instructions on the web I get almost everything (users, groups) using the "net vampire" command. The shares are working and it seems to be working fine. The problem is when I shutdown the Windows PDC and promote the Samba Server to "domain master = yes" because the computers cannot enter the domain anymore, an windows error tells me that the domain controller is busy or cannot be contacted. But if I enter the computer locally and try lo see the network shares it works fine; the problem is with th logon process. Here is the global of the smb.conf -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [global] workgroup = RICANET server string = Domain Controller - Samba %v netbios name = COBB # passdb backend = tdbsam domain master = yes domain logons = yes local master = yes encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd '%u' security = user os level = 64 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -m '%u' delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r '%u' add group script =/root/smbgrpadd.sh '%g' delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g' add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G '%g' '%u' add machine script = /usr/sbin/adduser -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -M '%u' admin users = dgonzalez administrator wins support = yes # idmap uid = 15000-20000 # idmap gid = 15000-20000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is part of the messages log output Nov 3 16:14:48 COBB2 smbd[4168]: [2005/11/03 16:14:48, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(430) Nov 3 16:14:48 COBB2 smbd[4168]: write_socket_data: write failure.
