Hi there

I've a problem with trying to join a domain controlled by samba-3.x
which is when I'm changing the Xp-pro box form WorkGroup to
a domain it asks me username/password

which is the one i added with

smbpasswd -a root and so on

+ in /etc/samba/smbusers the user root is mapped to
administrator and admin

(net groupmap list ) verifying that

domain admins ======> root

but administrators =====> 1

actually I tried all samba users accounts + root and administrator
but nothing works .

if I'm trying root <then it says user not found>
administrator <access is denied>
diff user <username/password bla bla bla>

{I still can access the share using this root and any other account locally and through the same Xp}


even I tried administrator account safe mode but it dosen't work

any suggestions

Thank you

have you

chmod -R a+rwx to your netlogon & profile share?

Hi
actully I was just implementing some examples from this link

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...html#id2536722

and in this example they didn't mention to give netlogon any permissions

thank you

hi there,

i wasn't really sure that was the answer,i just thought i'd tell you to give it a go. if that example isn't helping you out much you might want to try one i've setup on my local lug site.

http://tlug.dnho.net/?q=node/146

that is using OpenLDAP and LAM with samba as a primary domain controller

there is also a Server setup script i've been working on if you want to give it a good and tell me how things go you could try it out. it's very much in the beta development stages.

Hi there

in the example I sent you they didn't mention about even making a directory for netlogon
but I did make one and gave it the a+rwx didn't work either

and I still can access the share every where local in the linux box *Fedora-C3*
and through xp and win2000

but still joining the domain wont work. the same error on the both machine `xp & win2000`


always <user not found> <access is denied> or <user not found or bad password>


<by the way --if you're using webmin you will find SWAT included>

if you follow the howto i gave you,or use my script to set it up,it should work fine. but if it still dosn't post your smb.conf file here and i'll look at it and see if i can see a problem with it.

Hi


here is how is my smb.conf look like

---------------------------------------------------------------------

# Global parameters

[global]
workgroup = KIMRY
passwd chat = *New*Password* %n\n*Re-enter*new*password* %n\n *Password*changed*

Hi
No one respond after this smb.conf at all ???
