Where is the bug?

I am having a similar issue with Windows 7 workstations. I did not see any replies to this message. Do they still exist here?

bnkelley, this is one of the faux pas' of using a forum like LQ. The original post was made over 5 years ago. The odds of that person using the same version of samba that you are attempting to use are exceedingly slim. Because that person did not receive a reply at that time, it means that there wasn't anybody available at that time that was familiar with samba enough to address his/her issue.

Close to 6 years later there are going to be more people available that are familiar with samba, but not necessarily with an older version. The latest version of samba available (samba4) includes Active Directory Domain Controller functionality that was not included 5 years ago. Also, most of the settings in the OPs smb.conf have been deprecated in the latest version and are not needed.

Your best option is to start a new thread with the following info:
-Distro and version used
-Samba version
-Samba source (repositories/built from source/3rd party pre-configured package available from whom?)
-Contents of your smb.conf file
-Link to any tutorials or instructions that you have already followed to try and get it working on your own
-Any other tweaks, changes, mods that you have implemented, why you implemented them and where you got them from.

Give us the info and we can figure it out collectively. Re-open a 5-6 year old post and your just beating a dead horse that failed to get the attention it needed when it was posted.

P.S.
Welcome to LQ. I hope we can help get you running.

This might be more specific to Samba 4 and may not address the issue but have you set the DNS address for the Client to point at the PDC Emulator / Domain Controller? Otherwise I think it might come up with such issues????
