PDC problem in RHL9

kghoshal · 08-01-2003, 04:07 AM

I have installed samba 2.2.8 in redhat 9.0 so I decided to configure it as a PDC .I've managed to find that my windows clients use the PDC users but when I use the Linux clients I just can log in the machine in text mode but when
I try to log in the machine using the graphical mode, it doesn't work (it can't authenticate the PDC users in graphical mode)....

What am I doing wrong? What am I missing?

Any help will be appreciate it.....

Sounds confusing to me. If you are using Linux as the PDC then all users created (both on Linux and in Samba) should be the only valid users to log into the domain. If you are logging in locally (I.E. not choosing the domain but rather the local pc) than you will need to log in with users that are valid on local machine.
What version of windows are you running? If windows XP Pro or 2000 pro you shouldn't be able to log in at all without a valid user name and password, whether logging in on the local machine or from Domain.
