what should I set the loglevel to?
they get very big but I have a log here from a few minutes ago when I set it to '10'
they are accessible here:

ive since changed all the names of the servers, just to move away from the 'test', 'test1' confusion
if there is anything specific anyone wants to see, I can post it up someplace.
also, after changing names around, ect im still getting this infamous 'user does not exist'
thanks for the help :)

Any smbd log you want to share? I'd expect some kind of error in there? :)

ok, changed the computers name and added it just as I added 'test' then, deleted the 'test' machine the new machine I called 'mark' and, it was already in a workgroup.. so I rebooted it no change. it still tells me that root is an invalid user so, im back where I started.

I am trying to set up a samba PDC, and I have followed many FAQ's and HOWTO's ive found online.How did you called the machine. It has to be the same like the machine account of cource, probably 'test' in your case. I saw that you called the workgroup the same. My win workstations complain if have machine with same name as domain. Try calling domain test1 and machine test for instance.
all seem to be just about the same..
So, I made a config up (at the end of this email)
then I did the following:
added users/machines as such: (just trying to get it to work, will spice it up later)
useradd test$
passwd -l test$
smbpasswd -a -m test
smbpasswd root
(entered a password twice...)
Now... I went to the windows xp machine, changed some registry settings (windows xp with service pack 2, BTW.)
then I attempted to join the domain, entered 'TEST' as the domain, and a prompt came up asking me for the username and password required to join the domain..
entered root and the root password and... it tells me: 'the specified user does not exist'
now, thats damned strange...
so I create another unix user, and then another samba user.. I call this user 'test' with a password 'test'
so, I try to use that, and it tells me access denied... so I can understand that..
I try to enter root with no password, and it tells me the username or password is invalid.. I expected that as well, I guess.
im at a loss. I honestly dont know what to do.
my thing is, at work we are considering switching off of novell in favor of samba, so I best get to know it
im off to a rocky start. I hope that someone on list has an idea.
thanks in advance :)
here is my smb.conf, mostly copied from examples:
[global]
workgroup = TEST
netbios name = SAMBAPDC
server string = Samba %v on %L
log level = 1
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%L
max log size = 1000
time server = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
logon script = logon.bat
logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u
domain logons = Yes
os level = 255
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
[netlogon] path = /home/samba/netlogon browseable = No
[profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles read only = No create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No
[data] path = /home/samba/data read only = No create mask = 0750 directory mask = 0750 guest ok = Yes
I also noticed that sometimes a win machine has to be restarted before joining a domain .... I don't know why.....
You can also try make a WinXP SP2 a workgroup machine before joining to the domain and test user root and password.....
