Hi. As you may have noticed, I'm trying to setup my Samba server so that it is the PDC. I'm reading the howtos on http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/ldap-smb-2_2-howto.html and http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#SAMBA-PDC . Besides being a PDC, samba should use LDAP as the backend for storing user stuff.
The LDAP contains the user/group accounts as listed in the idealx howto from http://samba.idealx.org/dist/samba-ldap-howto.pdf, page 41. The Windows 2000 Pro machine which should join the domain is called "VIRTUAL-TEICH", so I added a machine account "VIRTUAL-TEICH$" to the LDAP. I'm now trying to actually add the machine to the domain. So I right clicked on the "Workspace" (? Arbeitsplatz) icon to open the system preferences. Then on "Network identification" (? Netzwerkidentifikation) -> "Properties" (? Eigenschaften). There I changed the radio button from Workgroup to Domain and entered the name I've set in /etc/samba/smb.conf "workgroup = MDKGROUP" (I entered MDKGROUP). Then a dialog popped up, and I entered a user name which is listed in LDAP (I've tried using a username of a member of the Domain Admins group as well as from a plain normal user). Both times I get the following error message in /var/log/messages: May 9 21:42:04 teich smbd[31340]: [2002/05/09 21:42:04, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_open_connection(79) May 9 21:42:04 teich smbd[31340]: ldap_open_connection: cannot access LDAP when not root.. Attaching shares with usernames which are only listed in the LDAP works fine. But before I tried this, I made sure to remove all attached shares and reboot the machine. I also tried using "root" as the username, but then the Windows 2000 just hangs. In /var/log/messages I get: May 9 21:51:37 teich smbd[32235]: api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_USERINFO. Oh, after quite some time (~1 minute), a dialog in Win2000 popped up: "Willkommen zur Domäne MDKGROUP". ;) Well, I dislike this. Do I really have to use root to join the domain? This is with samba 2.2.4 on MandrakeLinux 8.2. What am I missing?
