[SOLVED] How to add windows xp to samba domain (CentOS5.3)
Hello friends
I'm stuck with this problem of adding Windows machine to Linux domain. for which samba has been configured as PDC .
operating system : Cent OS 5.3 with updates ., with hostname tester.com
Dnsdomainname = com
now everything work well i.e windows client can access their share. also permissions are set appropriately. Also account for users and particular XP machine are also created.Code:[global] workgroup = TESTER netbios name = TESTER server string = Samba Server Version %v interfaces = lo, eth0, 192.168.1.1/24, 192.168.1.2/24 passdb backend = tdbsam username map = /etc/samba/smbusers add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd "%u" -n -g users delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel "%u" add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd "%g" delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel "%g" delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/userdel "%u" "%g" add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g smb-clients -d /dev/null -s /bin/false "%u" logon script = %u.bat domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes admin users = root hosts allow = 127., 192.168.1., 192.168.2. hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = enyota01.com\%S read only = No create mask = 0644 browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/samba/netlogon guest ok = Yes [Profiles] path = /homw/samba/profiles create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/samba/public guest ok = Yes [am] comment = Public Stuff path = /tmp/am write list = tester read only = No [pam] comment = Public Stuff path = /tmp/pam write list = tester read only = No guest ok = Yes
when I try add windows machine to samba domain by changing windows machines domain name to the tester . Windows client gives error of can not connect to domain.
If anyone has any idea about this problem of adding windows machines to SAMBA domain pls reply.
By the way if you find in error in presentation pls forgive.

Hello,
all i can see is that "local master = yes " is missing.
I dont know if this is the problem, but i think that in samba documentation allways include this parameter in PDCs.
I hope this help you
Regards

thanks JosePF for your reply
but that didnt worked for me. Howver In the 3.5.5 section of the SAMBA How To section There is point states that if users are added to system before configuration of the samba server ,samba treats them as local users same true for smbusers.
In my case this may be true. I need to find it out more reason to bypass this.
