Hi Andrew, Thanks for contacting me, Dude., You'd never believe this, but I was following that very IBM article mentioned in your reply and I finally got the "Welcome to <domain>" box pop up for me.
I clicked "OK" on that, and the machine went through the "You must
reboot in order for the changes to take effect" bit.
The machine back alright, but when I attempted to log as an ordinary
user, I got a message saying that no profile could be located, and that
a local profile would be used instead. Clicking "OK" on that, however,
brought up another message saying that no *local* profile could be
located either., so a "Temporary" profile will be used.
I *can* now see my other *NIX machines on the network, and the user is
able to browse the network (love the look of the "H" drive showing up!)
as well.
Not sure of the profile errors though.., here's what my smb.conf has
concerning this:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2002/10/30 23:39:22
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = VICKIANDSTACEY
netbios name = DEMON
server string = Samba Server
encrypt passwords = Yes
log level = 2
log file = /var/log/log.%m
max log size = 50
domain admin group = root @wheel
logon script = %U.bat
logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
logon drive = H:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 64
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins support = Yes
admin users = root @wheel
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
share modes = No
[Profiles]
path = /usr/local/samba/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
<snipped>
I'm sure I read somewhere that I needn't worry about the fact that I've
not actually had to create user profiles on the PDC, since samba creates
these when a user logs in for the first time.
Please let me know if I'm wrong on this.
Thanks again for the kind reply.
