Hi, I'm running Samba as a PDC on a Debian Etch machine (3.0.24-6etch9). It's been some time (months, maybe 1 year) since I last added a new machine to the domain, but I'd need to do it today and I'm getting an error: #>pdbedit -a -m Woodstock-VMXP tdb_update_sam: struct samu (woodstock-vmxp$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) The machine does NOT already exist in the tdb Samba database, of course. And I already added it to the Linux system accounts as I always do. I have to say this is a new situation for me, because this is a VIRTUAL machine: WinXP Pro running in VMware Fusion on a Mac. But it's configured for accessing the network directly, no NAT through the Mac, and moreover the Mac machine is not part of the domain. So I would expect it to work fine as a normal Windows workstation. Any clues? Thanks. -- Ciao, Marco.

On some of my machines, it would be. - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHo6Xsmb+gadEcsb4RAktnAKDhPcxPpr1bSAoL4isVTtw2xjgKGgCg0EnI PT8tLRZDA5qTCCf94uY15oU=z6Kl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
