I can see the machine account listed in pass.tdb (using pdbedit -l) and it is also in passwd & shadow. I HAVE ALSO APPLIED THE SIGN OR SEAL PATCH.

Hello! Ok, recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.3a to 2.999+3.0.alpha20-2. After successfully joining the Win2k SP3 machine to the Samba PDC, I'm unable to log in. The error I get is the following: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect" According to the

Testing - Samba 2.2.3 3. Unstable - Samba 30alpha20-4 I've looked on the debian website and in google with no luck. Any help much appreciated? IRV

does anyone know how to hide a samba server in SMB terms? on an NT machine the command "net config server /hidden:yes" will make the machine vanish from the network neighbourhood but i cant figure out how to do this for a samba server many thanks sincerely, bob reven

We have been able to successfully install / configure SAMBA on our LAN / WAN. Everything is working out just fine.. Just 1 little problem (And I'm sure it is something I screwed up or missed in the docs). When changing a computer name on the client PC (Win2k), I receive an "Access Denied" error. I've even tried using the root account to change the name with no avail.

After verifying my smb.conf file, the only thing that changed was this "panic action" command was added. My smb.conf is attached. All our workstations stopped working. If I change the computer name, switch to workgroup, then try to re-join the domain under a different computer name, it works. Do you know what .tdb file machine information is stored in. Also I exported all

Rookie Question When I try to add a client machine (Win2k) to the domain I receive the following error message. "Unknown user name or bad password." It is asking for a user and password of a user with permission to join the domain. So I use the following: Username: root Pass: secret. Is it impossible to add a user to the domain using only the GUI of the client pc? Any

Hello All! I'm trying to troubleshoot a domain admin problem and I'm stuck at a log error msg. The log says the following: get_domain_user_groups: primary gid of user [root] is not a Domain group ! get_domain_user_groups: You should fix it, NT doesn't like that My goal is so that anyone in the "Domain Admins" group (by default) have administrative access to all

Hello All! I have Samba Version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-2. Just recently I tried to join the domain using the Win2k Wizard with no success. This functionality worked in the previous version of Samba V. 2.2.3a. If I'm on the same subnet though, it works like a charm. The error I receive is the following: "The following error occurred validating the name "mydomain" The specified

I have had this problem before. Never really got to the bottom of it but if you want to get on then just add '-a' to your swat command to disable authentication. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Myers [mailto:myersjj@us.ibm.com] Sent: 07 November 2002 21:08 To: SAMBA@SAMBA.ORG Subject: RE: [Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate I had already done that, so it must be

Hello All, I think I touched on this subject on another thread when I was having problems joining a WIN2k SP3 machine to the domain. Anyway, does anyone know of a way to modify machine accounts in the new format .tdb. The old way was pretty simple as it only required one to modify a text file like smbpasswd. I'd like to know what machine accounts I have listed in this file and simply

Hello All! Any of our workstations who try and log into the domain receive the following Windows error: "The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect". Ok, good enough... If I check the smbpasswd file I can see the machine account and it is also in passwd. So I

Did you make sure localhost resolves? Also, depending on your /etc/resolv.conf, you may have to fully qualify the host's name including the DNS domain. I seem to rember having problems with this, and some combination of using localhost or hostname.domain.edu or using the actual IP address of the host cleared up the problem.

As the list probably already knows I'm fairly new to Linux / Samba. Please bare with me. =) I've managed to compile Samba-2.2.4. The first compile went wrong using the "configure -with ldap" command (something like that). Anyway 2 days later after apt-get' ting any packages with "lib" and those that sound like they belong in the build =) I got it to compile

Failed to modify password entry for user meuser These are the steps from the docs that I take to create a user: Step 1. /usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d

Hello All! Many thanks to the SAMBA community and developers!! We have successfully migrated away from NT and now use SAMBA as our LOGON / FILE server.

Each machine took about 10 minutes ... some a little longer. Windows 98 pc's were easy
