I've been very frustrated with getting XP to connect to samba. I added a machine account on Linux useradd -g workstation -d /dev/null -s /bin/false xpmachine$ then pdbedit -a -m -u xpmachine on XP i change the name to xpmachine and connect as root. I'm welcomed into my domain as expected When I reboot I cannot login because my account isn't recognized although I can login as administrator and browse, map etc. The Samba log says no account e...

Hi, Got two questions. 1. If I'd added a machine to my domain (using samba as pdc) with the followig commands: /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c XPMachine -d /dev/null -s /bin/false $1$ /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a -m $1$ How should I then remove one of them if made a mistake osv? 2. How can I change the adminpassword for PDC? /Jens THX _________________________________________________________________ MSN Hotmail ?r v?rldens popul?raste e-posttj?nst. Ska...

Hi. I need to connect to shares in a WinXP machine, which have accentuated characters and spaces in its name. I'm using Samba 3.0.0rc2 in MacOS 10.3, and when I use the `connect to server' option (for instance, to smb://xpmachine/Trabajos en realizaci?n), I get the login window, but after introducing my login name and passw. I obtain a -43 error (operation not complete because some items are missing). In fact, it tries to connect substituting the spaces and accents by %20 and %C3%B3 codes (I though the code for ? was an...

...the election the XP machine (of course) failed to become the master browser. But why didn't the linux machine succeeded to become lmb again ?

...t; however the profile is created on the server in the correct location with the appropriate user rights (700) and when the user logs out the profile is updated !!!!!, BUT it cannot be found at the next login. Also it is definitely NOT logging into the domain. A user who is not a local user of the xpmachine cannot login. Should I have security = domain instead of secuity = user ?? Would this fix this issue ?

...o problems. I already tried turning off the firewall on the server and it made no difference. SMB folder mounting works 100% reliably. It is only the domain logins that are (very) iffy. tcpdump of failed logins shows a very large number of packets being sent from the workstation like this: xpmachine.caltech.edu.1026 > smbserver.netbios-ssn with absolutely nothing going back. log.nmbd has these lines (as if it is working correctly) Samba server SAFSERVER is now a domain master browser for workgroup SAF on subnet 131.215.12.42 Samba server SAFSERVER is now a local master browser for w...
