Hello, I have a SLES10 64bit machine running samba 3.5.12. i have configured a domain (TASC), and set the servers netbios name to TUX. Samba is using the tdbsam backend. Now I have add machines to the domain, and users can logon using their domain accounts TASC\user. However, if the network is disconnected, in the case of laptop users going offsite, they cannot logon anymore. I have now discovered that if they use the server name TUX\user, they can logon to their account. I found a posting that suggested the 'domain logons' was not set to yes, but in my case it is. Any suggestions a s to what I have done wrong would be appreciated. Many thanks, Stuart #net domain gives: Enumerating domains: Domain name Server name of Browse Master ------------- ---------------------------- TASC TUX #pdbedit -Lvu "user" gives Unix username: user NT username: Account Flags: [U ] User SID: S-1-5-21-64526847-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-1002 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-64526847-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-513 Full Name: Home Directory: HomeDir Drive: H: Logon Script: logon.bat Profile Path: Domain: TUX Account desc: Workstations: Munged dial: Logon time: 0 Logoff time: Wed, 06 Feb 2036 15:06:39 GMT Kickoff time: Wed, 06 Feb 2036 15:06:39 GMT Password last set: Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:08:39 GMT Password can change: Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:08:39 GMT Password must change: never Last bad password : 0 Bad password count : 0 Logon hours : FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF #net domainsid gives: SID for local machine TUX is: S-1-5-21-64526847-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX SID for domain TASC is: S-1-5-21-64526847-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX All the SIDs match up. browse.dat has the following entries (user machines excluded) "TASC" c0001000 "TUX" "TASC" "TUX" 408d9b2b "tux server (Samba, SLES 10)" "TASC" My smb.conf file contains: [global] workgroup = TASC server string = %h server (Samba, SLES 10) printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User logon path logon home logon drive = H: usershare allow guests = No domain logons = yes domain master = yes netbios name = TUX passdb backend = tdbsam passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* security = user wins support = yes log level = 1 idmap gid = 10000-20000 idmap uid = 10000-20000 add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody - s /bin/false %m$ local master = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes logon script = logon.bat template homedir = /home/%D/%U usershare max shares = 100 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 time server = yes hide dot files = yes guest ok = no invalid users = bin daemon sys man postfix mail ftp Stuart Bailey BSc (hons) CEng CITP MBCS LinuSoft (Managing Director) Linux Specialist & Software Developer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Phone: (0845) 658 3563 Direct: +44 (0) 1953 878162 Fax: +44 (0) 1603 858583 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.linusoft.co.uk __________ Information from ESET Mail Security, version of virus signature database 6790 (20120112) __________ The message was checked by ESET Mail Security. http://www.eset.com
