You need to use this syntax: useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null mycomputername\$
Once this is done you will need to add the windows pc to the samba domain using root as the name and root's samba password, which means root needs a samba user and password beforehand. Regards, Mark Samba Setup Guide www.samba.netfirms.com I am trying join a w2k bo to a samba DC on RH9. I have read that I need to add the computer as a user first then join so I did it via these commands: adduser myComputer$ smbpasswd -a -m myComputer Is that all i need to do? When I join I get the "welcome to the domain message" and then I restart. However when trying to login I get "This systems computer account is not in the primary....." and cant log on. Furthermore there is a long pause before I get the "welcome to the domain message" message when I join the domain. As a result I used ethareal to look at the packets a found many protocol errors. Such as: DNS: no such name : _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.funk.com NETLOGON: SAM Response - user unknown thanks in advance -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
