I cannot join my WinXP workstation computers to the Samba domain. Using the Computer Name / Change on the XP computer gives me an error saying that the username or password is incorrect - except very occasionally when it works although I do nothing different!
I have noticed that on when it works there is a machine record set up in LDAP with Samba data as follows:- dn: uid=leem-q4hw$,ou=People,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk uid: leem-q4hw$ sambaSID: S-1-5-21-1504740027-1884281049-541626052-3090 sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-1504740027-1884281049-541626052-2107 displayName: leem-q4hw$ objectClass: sambaSamAccount objectClass: account creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk createTimestamp: 20051109143944Z sambaPwdCanChange: 1131547184 sambaPwdMustChange: 2147483647 sambaNTPassword: 7F47D21BE0CCA3F6BA29CDC00277875B sambaPwdLastSet: 1131547184 sambaAcctFlags: [W ] modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk modifyTimestamp: 20051109143944Z But the rest of the time, when it doesn't work, I get an LDAP entry without any Samba data like this:- dn: uid=commaint-df398$,ou=People,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount cn: commaint-df398$ sn: commaint-df398$ uid: commaint-df398$ uidNumber: 1046 gidNumber: 553 homeDirectory: /dev/null loginShell: /bin/false description: Computer creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk createTimestamp: 20051116130633Z modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk modifyTimestamp: 20051116130633Z I have experimented with various combinations of root# ./smbldap-useradd -a -w compname$ to see if I can get the record set up with the Samba data, but no luck. I now have 2 servers both of which show the same symptom. Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
