Check the smb.conf and the add machine script parameter.
With that parameter the smb creates the machine. Is sure that something
is wrong there.
Copy to the list, to have some solution there too.

Hi,
Thanks for that, it worked but why do I have to add the machine
account manually?? As previous on SUSE box it did have created the
machine accounts on the fly.
Anyway thanks for the suggestion.
Pavan.

All right, but pdbedit -Lv also must show you the machine account.
Maybe the script isn't working.
Why don't you try to make the machine manually?
useradd -s /bin/false machine_name$
smbpasswd -am machine_name$
(i don't remember if the smbpasswd uses or not the $, maybe is without
the $)
pdbedit -Lv machine_name$
If know you see the machine account (remember the W flag) now you can go
to the windows machine and try again.

Thanks for the reply, I cannot add machine to the domain even creating
the machine account manually on samba. I do have a add machine script
in
the configuration. Pdbedit -Lv shows me the root account which I am
using as the administrator account to add the machines to the domain.
Thanks,
Pavan.

I don't fully understand your problem.
You can't add the machine to the domain?
Do you have a add machine script in the smb.conf? If not, do you add
the
machine manually? If so, what to the pdbedit -Lv machine_name$ tells
you?

Hi All,
I have setup my samba as a PDC and testparm gives me the right
result, but when I am trying to add my XP client to SAMBA I receive
an
error as "Logon failure: bad username or password" or "Username could
not be found". I am using root as the domain administrator and have
added root account using smbpasswd and can see it using pdbedit -Lv.
I
can logon successfully from my windows client from run and typing
"\\servername <file:///\\servername> ".
Why do it complain when I am adding the machine that It cannot find
the
user??? Backend is simple smbpasswd file.
Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pavan.
