joining a samba domain
 

Hi,
I have gotten rid on Vendow$ XPEE and wnet back to W2K.
Now Ihave everything ready to join the Samba Domian but I keep getting this error--

---------------------------
Network Identification
---------------------------
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "smis":

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I am trying to make it logon as "ROOT"

what do I need to do here I think finally I am going to get this to work..

Thanks and quick answer would greatly apreciated,

ikw38

Can any help me here??

Try disabling "sign or seal".

Sorry I don't understand "sogn or seal " is this something in Vendows?

Thanks

Check that the following registry key is set as below:

OK I set that and now I get this error when I try to get W2K to join the Domain called SMIS

---------------------------
Network Identification
---------------------------
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "SMIS":

The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I try to log on as root and the other account I have and the samething happens ..
What is wrong here??


Thanks,ikw38

Here is my SMB.CONF file for review...
[global]
# netbios bla, bla, bla
workgroup = SMIS
netbiosname = SAMBA_PDC
server string = Linux net

# LogSamba
log file = /var/log.%m

# PDC's
domain master = YES
prefered domain = YES
domain logons = YES
os level = 65
security = DOMAIN
ENCRYPT PASSWORDS = YES


# Passwords
encrypt passwords = yes
update encrypted = yes
password level = 4

# Administration. PDC
domain admin users = root

# Performance

max log size = 5000

getwd cache = yes


printing = cups
load printers = yes

[homes]
path = /home/%u
comment = samba users
browseable = yes
writeable = yes



I also want to share my Epson Printer from Linux to W2K as well
can someon help me out here.

Thanks

Can anyone help me out here?
I 'll try anything to get this right.
THanks

Anyone got any ideas here.
I can't believe that you can't take a W2K workstation and join a Linux Domain.
There has to be away.
I can see them both from both directions.
But I can't join the Domain so I will have security and printer privalages.
So anyone that could I would eeply apreciate it...... :-)

Ok I ran this test from the terminal using the smbclinet -L xxxxx

these are the results and I think it is a matter of doing something very simple here to fix this here are the results

Unknown parameter encountered: "prefered domain"

What can I do to fix this??
Thanks,

I am trying to understand the difficulty that you are having.

It sounds as if you are trying to add a Windows 2000 machine to a Samba PDC. I may need to get the full history of the Samba configuration but let me try something.

This message normally occurs when you have a mapping to the existing server name and you are trying to add a machine to the domain. Make sure that nothing is mapped (e.g. drives) on the Windows 2000 machine.

In the # PDC's section of your smb.conf file change the line to

security = user

Security = domain suggests that a domain controller other than the PDC is going to authenticate users.

You may want to comment out these two lines.

update encrypted = yes
password level = 4

I have never seen them before and don't know what they do.

Here are the standard documents for creating a Samba PDC. Use the IBM tutorial first.

http://networking.earthweb.com/netos...le.php/1151091


Remember to include the

domain logons = yes

command in your smb.conf file. This is required for Windows 2000/XP logons even though the literature suggests otherwise.

I strongly recommend that you use vi or some other text editor to create your smb.conf file. Swat and Webmin add all kinds of unnecessary stuff to the file.

By the way, Windows XP clients can be added to a Samba domain. A few additional steps need to be taken. See the chapter on client configuration.

Ok I went out and redid my SMB.CONF file, now I can see each other fine. I can set it up in Vendow$ to print to Linux -ok?! ( using the wrong printer driver causes bad prints but prints-Unfortunatly Epson changed it printer driver in WIndows to printer port which means that they are getting like the old winmodems _Proprietary_somebody is sleeping with M$)

Anyway I can not join the DOMAIN STILL
I can not Print from Linux to windows using anything except a number 2 pencil.

Could someone tell what is wrong here- I have no firewalls up, I have done the registry trick in Windows.
Here is my smb.conf (currently)

I have never seen anything hard to do ..... Are you guys sure it can be done? Or are we living in Fantasty Island??

[global]
workgroup = SMIS
netbios name = Linux_Server
server string = Linux Server %v

security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
browsable = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 99
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
domain admin group = @ntadmins hosts allow = 192.168.1.100/24 127.
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0

printcap = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = lprng
use client driver = yes

#========================= Share Definitions ========================
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browsable = no
public = yes
writable = no
printable = yes

[public]
comment = A public share for vendor docs, etc.
path = /usr/public
public = yes
create mask = 0755
force directory mode = 0755
writable = yes

[temp]
comment = A place to drop off temporary files
path = /tmp
public = yes
create mask = 0755
force directory mode = 0755
writable = yes

[docs]
comment = Main Document Share for important Corporate Documents
path = /doc
public = yes
create mask = 0755
force directory mode = 0755
writable = yes

[home]
comment = Home directory for %U
path = /home/%U
browsable = yes
public = no
hide dot files = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0755
directory mask = 0755
username = %U

You appear to be missing out a step. Let us go step by step.

I don't think it is hard. I have done it for several customers.

I use a Samba server with Windows 2000 Professional clients in my office. We even have a Windows 2000 member server running a MS SQL application.

Your security settings are incorrect. Change it to read

security = user

This is very important.

Comment out the following line. I have never used it and I don't know what it does. You can add it back once we get your machines added to the network.

domain admin group = @ntadmins hosts allow = 192.168.1.100/24 127.

Tell me how you added your users to the Linux machine.

smbpasswd -r PLATO -j SMIS
is how I have tried to add the machines. I will go back and change the securuty to users once again.
ANd I will comment out that line-
