We have a Windows Domain NT. We are setting up four samba Servers, two
new and 2 legacy servers.
The new server are Ubuntu AMD64 Linux with Samba 3.0.22 One of these is
the PDC. The legacy Servers are Solaris 8 running Samba 3.0.24. We are
using winbindd and local tdb files on the PDC for authentication. We
plan to migrate to LDAP latter. I have used SWAT to configure each server.
I have the PDC up and running, apparently working fine but each of the
member servers is behaving differently and a little oddly.
I have a couple of simple questions first;
1) Should winbindd be running on the PDC?
2) Should the member server have "Domain Login" set to
"no"?
3) Is there an easy way for SWAT to show the Server name at the top
of each page? I sometimes get confused.
My current problem server the second Linux Member Server.
1) It is currently not showing up in client browse lists and asking
for a username and password and rejecting all of them.
2) "wdinfo -u" returns a list of Domain Users, "wdinfo
-t" succeeds
but "wdinfo -g" fails. "getent passwd" and "getent
group" return lists
of local groups and passwords on the Member Server. "enumerate users"
and "enumerate groups" are set to yes on the PCD and the Server.
I have refrained form posting my smb.conf files in hopes the answer is
obvious, it usually is. If not I'll post any requested information.
