Hello,
I've got 2 WIN2K Pro workstations on my home lan that I'd like to
enable network logon for. I've been banging my head against a wall for
the last four hours trying to get this sorted, but to no avail. I keep getting the same error when trying to enter the Domain name into the "WORKGROUP" field in Win2K network properties: "The following error occured validating the name "my_domainname", This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For more information about troubleshooting common DNS lookup problems see the following Microsoft blah., blah.., blah.., The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted". Here's what I've got in smb.conf: Global Settings: [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4 workgroup = <my_domain> # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.1 127. domain admin group = @wheel security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = yes os level = 255 preferred master = yes domain logons = yes # if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or # per user logon script # run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine) ; logon script = %m.bat # run a specific logon batch file per username ; logon script = %U.bat # Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT) # %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username # You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below ; logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U # Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section: # WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server wins support = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes # Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon guest ok = no writeable = no share modes = no To begin with I added a user in /etc/passwd for one of the machines: <winbox$>:*:1003:1000:<winbox$>:/non:/nonexistent Here's what smbstatus gives: # smbstatus Samba version 2.2.6 Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- No locked files # And this is what syslog has: # tail /var/log/log.smbd [2002/10/20 23:36:24, 0] smbd/server.c:main(707) smbd version 2.2.6 started.

I'd appreciate any assistance, pointers to a "the secret FBSD" doc somewhere that gives at least a minimal setup from which to start.., TIA Stacey -- Stacey Roberts B.Sc (HONS) Computer Science Web: www.vickiandstacey.com
