I will post the latest version smb.conf file below. I have followed the
instructions in http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-
Collection/FastStart.html section "Domain Controller" for the most part.
I have one server (TAU) and one Windows XP client (vm-201). I can get
vm-201 to join my BC workgroup but not the domain. I am rebooting the XP
machine and restarting samba on TAU between experiments.
I have just noticed the following error in the log file which I think is
at the bottom of all this! When I try to get the XP box to join the BC
domain it asks for a username and password, I give tom ****** and then
I have to admit that I myself don't understand the exact
requirements on what type of account is required here, but
it must be some sort of administrator account, not a regular
user account, that you use to join to the domain. So you
need to use root, or possibly some other privileged account,
but I know root works.
