you have to use root with root's password. smbpasswd -a root also on
the windows server you need to set the IP address of the samba server as
your WINS server in the network properties or on your DHCP server settings.

I'm still trying to set up our Samba server as a PDC. I tried to do
this yesterday and couldn't get my clients to recognize the server as
a domain controller. Someone on this list suggested that I upgrade my
Samba from version 2 to 3. I've done that, and things seem to be a
little better than they were yesterday. Now when I go to my Windows
client machine and try to set it up for domain logins, it no longer
tells me that there is no domain controller when I enter the domain
name in the system control panel. Instead, it prompts me for a name
and password of an account with permission to join the domain. So I
enter my username and password. Then I get an error message that says
that the network path could not be found.
Does anyone have any idea if there is anything further that I need to
do to set up the Samba server as a PDC?
Thanks,
Eric
