Thanks, just found that out that 'pdbedit -a' would create this entry when I add the first user.
However, I have another problem. I have setup the machine as a PDC with as : workgroup = example netbios name = woody security = user domain master = yes So the domain I believe should be 'example' and the server name would be 'woody'. But pdbedit grab 'woody' as the domain name. What have gone wrong ? My guess is that the default installation(which debian setup) set it as 'security = share' which make it thinks that this is a stand alone server so domain should be equal to server but even I have changed it back to domain model, I don't know how to change the content of secret.tdb. Or am I misunderstand something ? net getlocalsid gives : SID for domain WOODY is: S-1-5-21-3032950689-949544758-3596382992 and I have restarted the server a number of times. BTW, is it true that if I use 'pdbedit + the LDAP backend', I don't need smbpasswd for account management(and I don't need to create local unix accounts?) and probably that I don't even need pdbedit other than the initial setup as I can use the NT frondend ? Sorry for the newbie questions as I just started my course on samba. gary PS. I am doing a reply-all to this mail which means it would go to the list as well. If this is not the correct way for continuing the conversation, please let me know. PS2. I would suggest whoever writing the howto to expand a bit on the LDAP part as it would be a bit confusing --- jean-marc pouchoulon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >So what should I add the the LDAP server to make a > > proper PDC ? > > > Here it is. > > dn: sambaDomainName=DOMAIN,o=xxxx,c=Country > sambadomainname: DOMAIN > sambaalgorithmicridbase: 1000 > objectclass: sambaDomain > creatorsname: cn=Directory Master > createtimestamp: 20030818142849Z > sambasid: S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX > modifiersname: cn=Directory Master > modifytimestamp: 20030818171356Z > > > I didn't create this.
