Hi guys, I'm trying to set up a samba domain controller for our network, and I'm following the instructions outlined at http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id2523715. I am having difficulty getting my test user on a Windows machine to join the domain I've created, and when I check the log created on the server, this is the information I get back: Nov 25 14:49:15 davelinux smbd[16434]: [2005/11/25 14:49:15, 0] passdb/pdb_tdb.c:tdbsam_tdbopen(195) Nov 25 14:49:15 davelinux smbd[16434]: Unable to open/create TDB passwd Nov 25 14:49:15 davelinux smbd[16434]: [2005/11/25 14:49:15, 0] passdb/pdb_tdb.c:tdbsam_getsampwnam(434) Nov 25 14:49:15 davelinux smbd[16434]: pdb_getsampwnam: Unable to open TDB passwd (/etc/samba/passdb.tdb)! The weird thing about the passdb.tdb file is that it's empty. As far as I can see, when I try to authenticate to my new domain from the windows machine, the password that is supposed to be used doesn't exist in the file! Thanks for any suggestions, Dave
