Hi, i ´ve configured samba3 as a PDC on my linux box using mandrake linux
9.2, but i cant access with win98 or xp pro terminals i was looking for
smbpasswd to add users password but it seems that i dont have it on my
server. Maybe thats why i cant logon, another thing is the logon.cmd, i
cant find any example to use it on my net, can anybody help me with it??

This is my smb.conf:

# Global parameters
[global]
netbios name = SEVIDOR LINUX
workgroup = hfa
passdb backend = tdbsam
os level = 33
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
security = user
domain logons = yes
logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u
logon drive = H:
logon home = \\homeserver\%u\winprofile
logon script = logon.cmd
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = yes
update encrypted = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba3/smbpasswd

[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
read only = yes
write list = ntadmin

[profiles]
path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
read only = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0700
public = yes
printable = no
# guest ok = yes

[Temp]
path = /tmp
read only = No
# guest ok = Yes
browseable = yes
writable = yes
public = yes

Thanks.

G'day mate!

I'm a newbie myself and currently using Redhat 8 and 9 with WinXP, not sure where the files you're looking for would be for Mandrake though...

But for redhat, the smbpasswd command is in /usr/bin and when you add a user into samba, the data will be stored in smbpasswd located at /etc/samba
Hope this will help you a bit!
Also remember to add your root into the smbpasswd database...

I'm looking on how to write logon scripts as well...

try: locate smbpasswd
when you find it then you have to add the users you want to logon in the domain to your smbpasswd database. i think that a command like: smbpasswd -a username
make sure that usernames and passwd are the same in unix and samba.
