you run smbpasswd -a root on the sun samba server. if you don't have a
DHCP server, then add the IP of your sun samba server into the WINS
server ip line in the network properties of the windows client PC you
are trying to add to the domain.

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
