Hi all-
OK, I've been pulling my hair out for a while on this.
I've got a server running RH9 and Samba-3.0.0RC1 (installed via rpm) set
up as a PDC.
There seems to be a problem setting up machine accounts on the fly.
I've got the basic:
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M
%u
in my smb.conf but every time I try to join a computer to the domain, I
get the error:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "<domain>":
The user name could not be found.
This could have to do with where you are storeing the machine accounts.
I chose to store them under thier own ou called Machines. In order to do
this however I had to make the following change in /etc/ldap.conf Note
that the first line is ?sub rather than ?one.
...
nss_base_passwd dc=example,dc=com?sub
#nss_base_passwd ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?one
nss_base_shadow ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?one
nss_base_group ou=Group,dc=example,dc=com?one
nss_base_hosts ou=Hosts,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_services ou=Services,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_networks ou=Networks,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_protocols ou=Protocols,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_rpc ou=Rpc,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_ethers ou=Ethers,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_netmasks ou=Networks,dc=example,dc=com?ne
#nss_base_bootparams ou=Ethers,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_aliases ou=Aliases,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_netgroup ou=Netgroup,dc=example,dc=com?one
...
All the logs show that everything is fine with the authentication, and I
know that if I add the machine account manually, I've got no problem
joining the domain. With 50-100 computers, manually adding the machine
accounts is not really a viable option. Has anyone else experienced
this problem?
Thanks for your input,
Mark
