Logging in locally allows me to access the appropriate shares and authenticate against the LDAP directory. Accessing via smbclient works fine.
I'm able to get my Windows 2000 client to join the domain. After giving the root password there's a wait of around 45 serconds and then the 'welcome to the domain' box pops up.
After rebooting however, attempting to login as a user gives the error -
'The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password in that account is incorrect'
The system does have an account, which is proven by the fact that shares can be accessed when logged in locally to the Windows client.
Based on stuff found on Google I've followed various steps listed below, but nothing seems to work.
-- I've made the registry changes which appear to be recommended for XP and sometimes for W2K. No change. (Are they req'd for Win2K)
-- Removed the W2K client from the directory, deleted that client machine account, re-added the W2K client to LDAP, rejoining the W2K client to the domain. Doesn't make any difference.
-- Fiddled around with various things I can think of.
I did have the W2K client happily connecting and authenticating to a different Samba PDC machine that was on the same network and that worked fine. That PDC was not using an LDAP backend.
If anyone can suggest anything....
