Hi! I'm experiencing some serious problems setting up Samba as PDC. File sharing works fine and I can even add my computer to the domain, but when I reboot I can't log in with my samba username and password. I've previously set up similiar server, though it wasn't trough VPN. I'm running latest Debian Etch with every package upgraded. I've also tried some older samba packages. Here's my smb.conf: [global] server string = Samba file sharing workgroup = KOTI netbios name = MACHINAE wins support = yes name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast dos charset = CP852 unix charset = ISO8859-1 display charset = LOCALE dos filetime resolution=yes #### Networking #### interfaces = 10.10.0.1 bind interfaces only = true socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 #hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 10.10.0.0/24 10.10.1.0/24 #hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 remote announce = 10.10.0.255/KOTI \ 10.10.1.255/KOTI #### Debugging/Accounting #### log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d ####### Authentication ####### security = user admin users = @ntadmins force group = ntusers passdb backend = smbpasswd map to guest = Bad User unix password sync = no encrypt passwords = true passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . ########## Domains ########### domain logons = yes local master = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 64 ########## Printing ########## load printers = no ############ Misc ############ #======================= Share Definitions ====================== [IPC$] path = /tmp read only = no browseable = no #hosts allow = 10.10.0.0/24 10.10.1.0/24 127.0.0.1 valid users = @ntusers @ntadmins [ADMIN$] path = /tmp read only = no browseable = no #hosts allow = 10.10.0.0/24 10.10.1.0/24 127.0.0.1 valid users = @ntusers @ntadmins [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon read only = yes browseable = no valid users = @ntusers @ntadmins [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = no browseable = no create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 valid users = @ntusers @ntadmins [WWW] comment = WWW-data path = /var/www read only = no browseable = yes share modes = yes create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 guest ok = no valid users = @ntusers @ntadmins [Kotikansiot] comment = K?ytt?jien kotikansiot path = /var/lib/samba/kotikansiot read only = no browseable = yes share modes = yes create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 guest ok = no valid users = @ntusers @ntadmins /etc/samba/smbpasswd (slightly modified) jukankone$:1007:X:[W ]:LCT-472E1182: jukka:1000:X:[U ]:LCT-472E1087: spider:1005:X:[U ]:LCT-472E108D: jukankone.vpn$:1008:X:[W ]:LCT-472E1759: root:0:X:[U ]:LCT-472E1958: /etc/passwd jukka:x:1000:1001:Jukka:/home/jukka:/bin/bash /etc/group ntusers:x:1008:jukka,jari,pirita,sini,spider,jukankone$,jukankone.vpn$ntguests:x:1012:jukankone$,jukankone.vpn$ntmachines:x:1011:jukankone$,jukankone.vpn$ $ net groupmap list Domain Users (S-1-5-21-728289696-1735803817-2181290557-513) -> ntusersDomain Computers (S-1-5-21-728289696-1735803817-2181290557-515) -> ntmachinesDomain Admins (S-1-5-21-728289696-1735803817-2181290557-512) -> ntadminsDomain Guests (S-1-5-21-728289696-1735803817-2181290557-514) -> ntguests When I try to log in to domain I get this error: /var/log/samba/log.jukankone [2007/11/04 21:27:40, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(782) make_connection: connection to IPC$ denied due to security descriptor. This proves that my VPN connection is working and WINS delivers correct address for my domain controller. I've also tried with some simple config files, but either I can't even add my machine to the domain or I get this annoying IPC$ error. [IPC$] and [ADMIN$] sections are just for testing purproses in the config file. They had no effect whatsoever. Some older Samba package made by default some group mappings, but this newest version doesn't add anything. I've added those group mappings byhand, but they didn't help. I also tried to make another machine account with the complete name of my machine (jukankone.vpn). That didn't help either. Next step obviously is to compile the latest Samba from sources, but if someone knows anything about this phenomena please be nice and tell me. _________________________________________________________________ Lataa 30 ILMAISTA hymi?t?
