when does linux become a primary domain controller
hi,
After i configure the smb.conf file and set the option "domain master = yes" and linux becomes a samba server does that mean i can go a head and join windows machines to that domain or is it after configuring the DNS server? thanx
After that you need to change the line:
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null %u
to
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
add and enable users:
useradd smbadmin # create a Linux user
smbpasswd -a smbadmin # create a Samba user
smbpasswd -e smbadmin # enable a Samba user
the smb will become master we the machine on your network will use your NS servers .. they must be the first NS servers that be interogated .. not other machine .. because another ns may be setup to make update in feu hour od day !
thanks guys, i had configured samba but i could'nt join any machine to the domain, but after i configured DNS thats wen it allowed me to join machines into the domain. Thanks allot i really appreciate
