Unhappy SAMBA PDC & XP can't join


Setup: RH9 / SAMBA 2.2.8 PDC / XP boxes
Problem: Had once joined the PDC w/XP then left. Now cannot join again! I also have new XP boxes and they cannot join. Win98 boxes are working fine.

I have altered the reg for the two dword changes.

I have manually created a machines group and added the machine name to the Linux db, Linux passwd db (no password), SAMBA passwd db (as -m no $).

I have root entered into the smbpasswd db.

The error I am getting now is that the network password is wrong. BUT IT IS NOT!!

I do notice that when I change a password for smbpasswd that it lists that the password has changed twice. I did not think it used to do that.

What the heck happened!? T.I.A.

2 changes - more log info

So I changed guest account = nobody and removed nobody from my invalid users list.

Now this is the logfile output: (1 attempt to join)

[2004/02/10 15:21:52, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(563)
Can't become connected user!
[2004/02/10 15:21:52, 0] smbd/server.c:exit_server(511)
Closing connections
[2004/02/10 15:21:52, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(563)
Can't becomre conneced user!
[2004/02/10 15:21:52, 0] smbd/server.c:exit_server(511)
Closing connections

It seems I was getting further before.

A few things:

- You might check on www.samba.org for Samba 3.02, which provides much better support for the PDC environment.

- You don't mention the process by which you're joining the machine - i assume, then, you're using "root" as the name that has the authority to join?

- There is a step by step example book that will be out in March which provides a good examples for configuring Samba. it's by John Terpstra, Samba 3 - By example - keep it in mind.

Sorry. Yes, I'm using root (with a dif password just for SAMBA) to log into the domain. It is this password that it is saying it is incorrect. But, I swear, it is not. I typed it with one finger to be sure!!

So something else is messing up. I'm working over a wireless link that drops the speed down to a pitiful "8 if your lucky" hop to the server. Today I am taking the XP box down to the Lab to eliminate lag as a potential problem.

I do want to upgrade to SAMBA 3.x, however I have no backup controller, I'm new to this, and I need to deploy these 19 boxes in 10 days. I want ACL support.

I have two Samba books and I'm pouring over them feverishly.

Thanks for your help.

Smile Solved!

Well, there were two problems.

1) the "machines" account had been deleted

2) invalid users = had root in it. Which resulted in a "bad password" msg. Don't quite get that, but hey!, it works now.

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
