I have created a domain controller using samba 3.0.20. I following howto's from a couple of books and the samba.org site.
I was able to use net rpc vampire to migrate the old nt4 domain user accounts, machine accounts, and trusts. However, now when I attempt to use add a new machine to the domain I receive and error. From windows I get: "The user name could not be found" When I look at the samba log file I see "... running the command useradd .. gave 5" (I've abbreviated the script since it follows the how tos) I didn't know what the 'gave 5' meant. I assume it means that useradd failed. Looking at /etc/passwd does indeed show that there was no machine account created. I looked in the man page but I don't see what any documentation on error codes returned by useradd. I have run net group map and verified that "Domain Admins" maps to the unix group ntadmins. The windows users is a member of both "Domain Admins" and ntadmins. Where else should I look? -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing" -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
