Thanks

Yes I can add the machine name to the userlist by executing the same command add machine script = /usr/sbin/"useradd -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/nobody machinename" < this part only manually. Once the machine account has been added I can then add the PC to the domain.

May be its a problem running the script by a user who is not root. Hmmm I used root & tried Administrator as well?

Many thanks

Mike

Check that your useradd command permits upper case characters and the use of the '$' symbol in a user name. If not, you will need to write a script to add y


Thanks for any help you may be able to give

Yes this is a Unix SAMBA server, only xp workstations here. Can log
int shares using administrator or root but not join the domain?

Arhhhhhh

Many thanks

Mike,

You must join the Domain with a valid "Windows" user that has
Administrative
privileges in the Domain, assuming this is a Windows envirionment, not a
Unix PDC. In the Windows world, root has no meaning or privilege.

when trying to join the domain with the root & rootpassword

Many thanks

You need to make sure your root account exists in your tbsam
backend and then use root and its password when joining your
windows workstations. At least that's how I did it Chris

Sorry still unable to find documentation Hello

I have set up a Samba 3 PDC on RHEL4 using the tdbsam backed. I
can log in as a user who has been added to the tdbsam database
from a workstation. When I try to add the workstation to the
domain (after breaking user connections to the server) I get "The
following error occurred while trying to joining the domain
xyz.com. Access denied.

I havent seen any instructions in the how-tos on how to create the
Administrative account on the server to accept workstations to
join the domain?

How do I create security groups and join them to users ie Joe is a
member of managers, accounts, engineers etc?

Many thanks

Mike
