Thanks. It's still not working though. A couple of things concern me
about your advice. First of all I can't smbpasswd -a root on our Windows
server because we don't have a Windows server. Secondly we can't change
the network properties on the DHCP server because we don't have a DHCP
server. So I'm now starting to wonder if what I am trying to do is even
technically feasible at all with our current PC & Samba setup. We have a
Sun workstation that is running the Samba server. And we have several PC
clients, some of which run Win2k and some WinXP. That's it. What I would
LIKE to be able to do is to set up our system to enable domain logons from
the Windows clients. Is that something that is technically feasible with
our current setup or not? If so, how could I accomplish that?
Thanks a lot,
Eric
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
