Problems with Samba as a Domain Controller
Hi, I'm having some problems with Samba... I can successfully join a Samba-controlled domain from Linux, but from Windows XP, it tells me that "The specified user does not exist" and samba's log says " get_md4pw: Workstation r0x0r$: no account in domain" ... although I have already created an appropriate trust account for the machine. Can anyone offer me any advice?
my smb.conf:
Code:workgroup = OERINET unix password sync = yes add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u admin users = root,admin,root1 # Tell Samba to use domain logons domain logons = yes encrypt passwords = yes #encrypt passwords = no smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U.pds logon home = \\%L\%U logon drive = m: # User-level security. Users must # authenticate themselves with # valid username and password security = user # Set to yes so that nmbd participates # in local master browser # elections local master = yes # Set Os level value to make sure nmbd # wins local browse master # elections. 65 should beat everyone # according to the man page os level = 65 # Give nmbd an advantage in local # master browser elections preferred master = yes # Set so that nmbd claims a unique # NetBIOS name identifying it as # a domain master domain master = yes # The following share is required to support # domain logons. The directory may be # created anywhere on your system. Make # sure the share is non-writeable and also # not a public share. [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /netlogon public = no writeable = no [profiles] comment = User profiles path = /usr/local/profiles create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 writeable = yes browseable = yes force user = %U valid users = %U administrator

Have you tried it not using domain logon?

By saying domain logons = no, Windows cannot find the domain controller at all.
