My apologies, I'm terribly sorry to belabor these PDC issues to the point
where everyone is undoubtedly tired of hearing about them, but I have become
absolutely obsessed with trying to solve this PDC problem. Here is what is
happening now. I'm trying to connect to the Samba server which is set up as
the PDC (domain PLAB) from windows client "venus". Windows prompts me to
enter a username and password. I enter the username and password for root.
It comes back and says it can't find a network path to that domain. Here's
the message that appears in my samba log file:
[2006/07/07 14:40:18, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(183)
process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request received
for name VENUS<20> from IP 128.253.175.150 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.
[2006/07/07 14:40:18, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(184)
Error - should be sent to WINS server
Can anybody tell me what this error means?
I do not have your original smb.conf file available, as I am at work and
only have shell access to this e-mail account, but just as a shot in the
dark, are you running WINS on your Samba server? IIRC, a PDC is always
expected to be running WINS, so it looks like it's having problems
registering "venus" in the Windows/Samba domain. So, I would check to see
if you are running that . . . if you aren't, I'd give that a shot, and
I'll try to verify a few more things when I get home for you.
Thank you very much,
Eric
