I've just estabilished Samba 3.0.4 PDC. Windows 98 users can access shares, but winnt adn winxp can't. As read in manual I added machine accounts but it didn't help. In logs I read "no machine1$ account in domain" but pdbedit shows that machine1$ account is created. Why users aren't added to the domain ?
Hi,
you will need:
1 - enable users to access to samba, they could be the same unix users or others, or mapped users, see smbpasswd.
2 - users accounts for workstations.
3 - add workstation to the doamain like you do in any other microsoft native ambient.
man smb, man useradd, man smbpasswd and google.
I know that you'll need to change some registry strings to add windows xp or windows 2000 workstations to samba domains. Google helps you, and your /var/log/messages to.
As I said I created all accounts needed. There are only errors in domain logons. All machine accounts created like smbpasswd -a -m machine1. Win9x users logon to domain correctly.
So win98 workstations login right, but Win2k/WinXP doesnt, right!?
You can add those winXP to the domain with no problems?
But when you go to logon it doesnt work is that?
I can tell you that with my winXP professional workstations I had to change some registry strings related almost with WINS service. Try to google a while for "samba Windows XP workstations".
Latter I can post here wat strings, and wat changes you have to do, also some options in my samba configurations.
Post some errors, let us see something about your errors, do:
tail -f /var/log/messages and then try to logon and look at the new log lines.
