Welcome forum readers!
I'm new to this forum, and i'm new to linux world, however i used Suse for a desktop system, but that doesn't count
I really want to understand the how, and why questions, but i come this far, because after i read manual pages, tutorials, forums, i still don't know what do i do wrong.
I have a Debian 5.0 system, fresh install, updated with aptitude. Now i'm using vmware to test my system, but the 'real' system, is a small network with around 30 workstations connected in a cisco switch + router. So i test the configuration at home, and when it's working and done, i will copy it to the real network, because i don't want to mess it up
So i installed the newest samba to act as a PDC. You can read my configuration in the following lines:
#======================= Global Settings =======================

# Un-comment the following and create the profiles directory to store
# users profiles (see the "logon path" option above)
# (you need to configure Samba to act as a domain controller too.)
# The path below should be writable by all users so that their
# profile directory may be created the first time they log on
[profiles]
comment = Users profiles
path = /home/samba/profiles
guest ok = no
browseable = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
i added root with 'smbpasswd -a root' command. When I try to connect to the domain with a Windows XP, it says: ' The username cannot be found '
What do you think, what is the problem?
I greatly appreciate any suggestion, and idea
Thanks in advance
