samba pdc problem

[zchas39]

everytime i try and logon onto my linux server, the client (all win xp pro) says that the domain is not available.

i enclose the smb.conf just in case there is anything wrong with it:




# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from www.ninety2.com (192.168.0.2)
# Date: 2002/10/30 17:35:13

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = NINETY2.COM
netbios name = WWW
encrypt passwords = Yes
logon path = \\%L\profiles%u
logon drive = Z:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 64
preferred master = True
domain master = True

[netlogon]
path = /home/netlogon
write list = jay

[profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
create mask = 0640
directory mask = 0750
browseable = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
create mask = 0600
printable = Yes
browseable = No

also, does anyone know of a good nhf for setting up samba as an pdc.

thanks

Have you made the registry hack in XP Pro that you need to make so they can participate in a Samba domain? It's listed in this thread:

http://www.linuxnewbie.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59736&highlight=registry

There's also some links in that thread to some good tutorials on Samba PDCs.

If you are using SWAT, there's some excellent help that's accessible from the main SWAT page on setting up a PDC.

There should be help files on your PC that are installed when you install Samba. Look in:
