Domain controler problems with Samba and windows

gundestrup · 09-17-2006, 02:59 PM

Problem:
I have setup smb.conf and everything looks good.
I can access the samba shares, but when I try to access the domain, I get this error:

Code:

The domain name BORG-COLLECTIVE might be a NetBIOS domain name.  If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.

If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.

An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain BORG-COLLECTIVE.

The error was: "No records found for given DNS query."
(error code 0x0000251D DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.BORG-COLLECTIVE

Here is my smb.conf file:

Code:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.10.2 (192.168.10.2)
# Date: 2006/09/17 21:10:39

[profiles]
        path = /home/samba/profiles
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700

My Setup:
locutus: Linux server, also a webserver, and vmware-server
borg-collective (the domain/workgroup)

DMZ controles by IPCOP, 3NIC
Orange Zone:
linux kubuntu server, dapper
printers

Greenzone:
All my windows clients.

I have added
locutus, borg-collective, to the hosts of my server and ipcop.

Any help please.

The problem might be something really easy, like a typo in your smb.conf:

or it could be something rather complex like the need for a DNS server. Correct the easy first and we'll find out.

Since you have my conf file, do you see any errors?

As fare as I know, it complies to the current documentation supplied by samba+all the guides/howto I could find on the net.

I have looked at it for hours, checking, an I can't find any errors :-(

I have added to my dns server, the hostnames, "borg-collective", "locutus" to the relevant server.

I think I might be a communication problem, due to the fact the I am using a DMZ setup.
Henze not allowing trafik from orange to greenzone.

So I am seeting info about anyone else that has had a similar problem.

Or is there is someone, with a knowlage that a setup with a domain server, in the DMA orange zone, will work with computers in an greenzone.

My intension is to provide roaming profiles, in my own home.

I am about to test if it wile work with one, or both thies solutions:
Make sure that samba broadcast on greenzone, (open one port)
Make sure that samba can make connection form orange to greenzone (port 139/137)

So if there is an expert/guru, that can help me, I would apriciate it a lot :-)

I'm not about to claim guru status, but I'll try to help with some of the things I've learned recently.

First comment out the line:

Quote:

netbios aliases = BORG-COLLEVTIVE

like this
; netbios aliases = BORG-COLLEVTIVE

Next, add a line to define which network interfaces to use:

Code:

        interfaces = eth0 eth1 eth2

Of course, you will need to customize that to match your network interfaces.
Finally, make sure you have added all of your users to unix with "useradd" and to samba with "smbpasswd".
