Hello, Perhaps I'm going to ask a stupid question, but it represents a problem for me :'(.
My intention is to build a PDC with samba in a lan filled up with Windows clients. I have set up the Samba server and I can "mount" a directory from samba in a letter on a windows machine, such as g: for example. This works fine, but... I can't log in, or validate users, against the samba server. When in a windows machine an user press crtl+alt+del and puts his username+password+domain correctly, windows responds that it can't connect to the domain controller or that account doesn't exist on the server... but it exists. Obviously, the user exists in the server: /etc/passwd and /.../smbpasswd and have the rights to log in. I have read some interesting things in the documentation about to make an account to validate a Comnputer (Creating Machine trust Accounts and joining clients to the domain) and I have followed the steps and worked fine, but the client cannot be validated. So my question is: - How can I use Samba to validate users (and make then execute a logon script when they log in) ? - There are problems with Windows XP ? The lines above are extracted from my smb.conf: [Global] netbios name=OFI workgroup=HCG wins support=Yes os level=64 preferred master=Yes local master =yes domain master=yes security=user encrypt passwords=yes logon script=%U.bat [netlogon] path=... read only=yes ... [home] path=%H valid user=%U writable=yes create mask=0660 ... [public] path=... etc. I'm using Samba 2.2.7a and it works fine so if I type: net use j: \\ip_samba_server\home It ask me for the user/password to establish de "connection" (it demands the password because I can't validate the user at login time). Well... That's all. Thanks for your patiente and sorry for my English level ;P.
