OK I set that and now I get this error when I try to get W2K to join the Domain called SMIS
---------------------------
Network Identification
---------------------------
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "SMIS":
The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I try to log on as root and the other account I have and the samething happens ..
What is wrong here??
# Performance
short preserve case = yes
max log size = 5000
case sensitive = no
default case = lower
mangle case = no
dead time = 15yes
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
oplocks = yes
fake oplocks = no
debug level = 2
preserve case = yes
getwd cache = yes
Anyone got any ideas here.
I can't believe that you can't take a W2K workstation and join a Linux Domain.
There has to be away.
I can see them both from both directions.
But I can't join the Domain so I will have security and printer privalages.
So anyone that could I would eeply apreciate it...... :-)
I am trying to understand the difficulty that you are having.
It sounds as if you are trying to add a Windows 2000 machine to a Samba PDC. I may need to get the full history of the Samba configuration but let me try something.

This message normally occurs when you have a mapping to the existing server name and you are trying to add a machine to the domain. Make sure that nothing is mapped (e.g. drives) on the Windows 2000 machine.
In the # PDC's section of your smb.conf file change the line to
security = user
Security = domain suggests that a domain controller other than the PDC is going to authenticate users.
You may want to comment out these two lines.
update encrypted = yes
password level = 4
I have never seen them before and don't know what they do.
Here are the standard documents for creating a Samba PDC. Use the IBM tutorial first.
command in your smb.conf file. This is required for Windows 2000/XP logons even though the literature suggests otherwise.
I strongly recommend that you use vi or some other text editor to create your smb.conf file. Swat and Webmin add all kinds of unnecessary stuff to the file.
Ok I went out and redid my SMB.CONF file, now I can see each other fine. I can set it up in Vendow$ to print to Linux -ok?! ( using the wrong printer driver causes bad prints but prints-Unfortunatly Epson changed it printer driver in WIndows to printer port which means that they are getting like the old winmodems _Proprietary_somebody is sleeping with M$)
Anyway I can not join the DOMAIN STILL
I can not Print from Linux to windows using anything except a number 2 pencil.
Could someone tell what is wrong here- I have no firewalls up, I have done the registry trick in Windows.
Here is my smb.conf (currently)
I have never seen anything hard to do ..... Are you guys sure it can be done? Or are we living in Fantasty Island??
[global]
workgroup = SMIS
netbios name = Linux_Server
server string = Linux Server %v

You appear to be missing out a step. Let us go step by step.
I don't think it is hard. I have done it for several customers.
I use a Samba server with Windows 2000 Professional clients in my office. We even have a Windows 2000 member server running a MS SQL application.
Your security settings are incorrect. Change it to read
security = user
This is very important.
Comment out the following line. I have never used it and I don't know what it does. You can add it back once we get your machines added to the network.
domain admin group = @ntadmins hosts allow = 192.168.1.100/24 127.
Tell me how you added your users to the Linux machine.
smbpasswd -r PLATO -j SMIS
is how I have tried to add the machines. I will go back and change the securuty to users once again.
ANd I will comment out that line-
