Samba: W2k clients cannot login after joining domain
Hello,
I have Samba setup running as a PDC on a RH 7.3 box. (Samba version 2.2.5). I have connectivity to the box and I was able to access all the shares without any problems. However, when I configured Samba as a PDC and joined the w2k clients to the domain, I was unable to login to the network. I recieved an error message on the w2k machines stating "A duplicate name exits on the network". My smb.conf is as follows: [global] workgroup = CENTRALCITY netbios name = CENTRALCITY server string = %L running Samba %v encrypt passwords = Yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers domain admin group = @adm domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = True domain master = True [homes] comment = Home Directories path = %H valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0700 security mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 directory security mask = 0700 browseable = No [SharedFiles] path = /SharedFiles create mask = 0770 security mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 directory security mask = 0770 guest ok = Yes [netlogon] path = /SharedFiles/netlogon read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 browseable = No share modes = No Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. :Pengy: |
Chack names of machines in your network. From the error you get, there are 2 machines with the same name.

Figured it out.
It's not that there were machine names on my network that were the identical. It was the smb.conf file that had two identical settings. The Workgroup/domain name was set to CentralCity, while the NetBIOS name was also set to CentralCity. That is what the problem was. Once I removed the NetBIOS name everything was cool Thanks :newbie: |
