This is all you should need for a bare minimum PDC to work. [global] domain logons = yes domain master = yes security = user workgroup = YOURDOMAIN encrypt passwords = yes
[netlogon] path=/usr/local/netlogon writeable = no guest ok = no Make sure netlogon directory exists and then run the tesparm utility with this config. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:samba-admin@;lists.samba.org]On Behalf Of Richard Fox Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 2:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] PDC connect problem > If this is a multi-homed machine then you might try > interfaces = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > bind interfaces only = yes I tried this an it had no effect on the problem, which is that the domain controller for this domain cannot be located. In order to eliminate any possible problem of multiple networks I deleted the other network device, eth1, which was inactive anyway, from my PDC machine. Also all other hosts on the 192.168.0. network have been removed from my /etc/hosts file. Now I just have eth0 set to 192.168.1.10 and localhost, thor (RH 7.3 PDC) , and mercury 192.168.1.7 (NT) in my /etc/hosts. I also tried wins support = yes and this also had no effect. I do believe, from what I have read, that I have a minimal smb.conf file for a PDC. Here it is again: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP netbios name = THOR os level = 64 domain master = yes preferred master = yes local master = yes security = user encrypt passwords = yes domain logons = yes logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%u logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%u logon script = netlogon.bat [homes] comment = Home Directories path = %H writeable = Yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Services path = /home/samba/netlogon read only = yes # list of all possible users who I could imagine would try to connect during testing. # All have samba passwords = Unix passwords (or NT in case of Administrator) write list = Administrator, rfox, root [Profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles browseable = No I am very surprised that the log file shows no attempt to connect when I try to join the domain MYGROUP from mercury. The log file does show that samba initialized ok and is waiting for connections. I don't know how to simplify things any further. My network is 2 machines only, no additional interfaces. I did remove the DNS server IPs and gateway IP from mercury's TCP/IP settings but this also made no difference so I put them back. Keep these ideas coming, I am completely stumped.
