Hi, I am setting up a new samba server to be a master domain controller, i am using samba 2.2.7-3 on redhat enytreprise 2.1 ES
I have added user to both passwd and smbpasswd files, ii can log into shared home directory with valid user using smbclient or WinXp(by browsing)

the problem is when I try to auth to the master domain controller, it always say "access denied" i trhied a lot of stuff but cant find the problem

if maybe you can help , thx

here is my smb.conf file:

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
netbios name = MYSERVERNAME
server string = Samba Server myservername
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

read only = No
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
delete readonly = Yes



BTW i changed some info for privacy

why no one ever responde to me, tell me if there is something not clear plz

have you tried adding a root into your smbpasswd?

how about network security?
under trusted devices, did you tick eth0?

I'm a beginner myself, what does "veto files" in [homes] do?

hi, the veto was on my config of the other domain server, I am setting an other server so I use a temporary domain name, dunno much about it except that the other server work and not mine, i just changed a few things to adapt it to the new os

i still got the error from xp access denied
I also tried with root, nothing worked, ill repost my config because i changed a lot of stuff:

btw thx for responding

No worries mate,

Sorry if I've not been of much help, only been using Linux for about a month, I took 2 solid weeks just to setup Samba to act as a PDC for my WinXP clients.....

Your smb.conf looks sinilar to mine.....
Did you try the *registry* hack for XP? go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
* requiresignorseal = 0
* signsecurechannel = 0

Mind if I ask you questions as well?
You manage to get the network printer going? my XPs see the printer, I've installed drivers for it but I still can't print, no error reported in XP, had similar experiences?
