 Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 1:20 am Post subject: Windows machines won't join Samba Domain... |
 |
|
Hello,
I've also posted this message to the samba mailing list but I also thought I'd post it here in case it's a gentoo-specific issue...
| Quote: |
This is the second time I try to get samba working using a simple PDC
setup. Although very few changes have been made compared to the first
set up (which kinda worked), for some reason nothing works like
before.
I use samba 3.0.21b on Gentoo. Samba works in the sense that my domain
is visible in the network neighbourhood, and all shares can be
accessed. However, whenever I try to join the domain I get a user name
could not be found error... I have tried deleting and recreating the
root account with smbpasswd to no avail. (As far as configuration
settings are concerned, I've generally stuck to gentoo wiki's
Implement Samba as your PDC HOWTO, modifying as needed).
As far as I can tell there are no error messages in the logs, except
for the warning that the use of "The "printer admin" option is
deprecated"
I tried using security = domain, which would result in an error
message about SRV entries. I thought that some SRV entries for ldap
and kerberos in bind were to blame, which had lingered around since
the time when I was experimenting with ldap/kerberos (however the
current setup makes no use of other authentication backends. I use
"passdb backend = smbpasswd guest" at present). The aforementioned
problem persists.
After googling around a bit for several days, I have yet to find a
solution. I would be grateful if somebody came up with a way to
overcome this problem, or suggestions on how to debug it.
Thanks in advance,
George

I have the following SRV record in my BIND zonefile: | Code: | | _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs SRV 1 1 389 leela |
, where leela is the hostname of the Samba PDC machine ($ORIGIN is my organization's domain name). I currently use LDAP but I'm pretty sure this record was relevant since before I did. I strongly recommend this HOWTO for an LDAP-enabled Samba PDC: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_LDAP_SAMBA_PDC. If trouble persists, please post the errors the win32 machines give when attempting to join. |
