hi all, I am trying to setup samba as a PDC of a newly created domain. I read about it here: http://en.opensuse.org/Howto_setup_SUSE_10.1_as_Samba_PDC#OpenLDAP_Setup and here http://www.howtoforge.com/openldap-samba-domain-controller-ubuntu7.10 unfortunately I am not using samba 10.1 or ubuntu 7.1 I am using opensuse 10.3 Anyway I think I walked across almost all problem, and I also used to join a windows xp workstation to the domain, WITHOUT having to create the computer account before. The problem is that if i logon to the xp as root everything is OK; but if I try to logon with another samba account I get strange errors (see at the bottom about this...) Moreover: If I issue a "net user" command at the pdc, I see only root and nobody listed; The same if I try to add a member to a group in the "manage group" of the windows xp workstation. If I issue getent passwd : ....... +::0:0::: request done: ld 0x8054918 msgid 1 root:x:0:0:Netbios Domain Administrator:/home/root:/bin/false nobody:x:999:514:nobody:/dev/null:/bin/false andrea:x:1010:513:System User:/home/andrea:/bin/bash request done: ld 0x8054918 msgid 2 xptest01$:*:1001:515:Computer:/dev/null:/bin/false request done: ld 0x8054918 msgid 3 (andrea is the user I tried to add using smbldap-useradd command) If I use ldapsearch -x -b dc=my,dc=domain | grep andrea memberUid: andrea # andrea, Users, gas.it dn: uid=andrea,ou=Users,dc=my,dc=domain cn: andrea sn: andrea uid: andrea homeDirectory: /home/andrea sambaLogonScript: andrea.cmd sambaProfilePath: \\VRTLDAP01\profiles\andrea sambaHomePath: \\VRTLDAP01\homes\andrea The "Strange error" I see is (translated) Could not log on due to the following error a device connected to the system is not working If I issue a "smbpasswd andrea" and give apassword, then I go a little further, but I get a policy error on the windows xp. Any help will be gratly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Andrea -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
