I've having trouble getting XP SP2's to join a domain. Whenever I try to join, at the point I'm asked for a user name and password with permission to join the domain, I enter root and root's password, then get the dreaded "Unknown user or bad password" error message.
The clients are a mixed bunch with some 98's, 1 Win2K, a few XP SP1 (I know, I know!, but it's not a priority to management who has me fighting other fires), and the rest being XP SP2. I *ONLY* get the error with XP SP2. The Win2K and SP1 all join no problem, so it shouldn't be a problem with the Samba PDC or the config file else none should be joining. The 98's aren't a problem of course. In fact, for reasons I can't figure out, 2 of the SP2's joined too. What is stopping the SP2's from joining? I've tried creating the machine accounts by hand, but that had no effect. I cranked up the logging and it looks to me like root authenticates correctly, but I still get the error. Background: The original Samba PDC machine was getting old so management decided to trash it. I was tasked with putting together a replacement machine. I am using Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) with Samba 3.0.26a. I disconnected the client machines from the domain (switched them to workgroup), then tried to reconnect with the new server online. The old server is physically gone. As I stated, only the XP SP2's are not joining. I'm including my smb.conf, but considering the XP SP1's and the one Win2K (which is actually running as a virtual machine with XP SP2 as a host OS; this XP SP2 won't join) all join, the config file should be correct, and I have a root user in my smbpassword file, and I'm typing the password correctly. Therefore it has to be something to do with the SP2's. Possibly some registry setting??? Right now the XP SP2's are running as workgroup computers. Yes, the old domain and new domain name are the same, but I've already tried changing the new name to something different then joining but with no luck. #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] debug level = 2 workgroup = hap netbios name = linuxII hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. printcap name = cups load printers = yes printing = cups guest account = pcguest log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = tdbsam unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* username map = /etc/samba/smbusers socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 interfaces = 192.168.1.8/32 127.0.0.1/32 bind interfaces only = true local master = yes os level = 34 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon script = home.bat logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon home = \\%L\%U logon drive = H: name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast wins support = yes wins proxy = yes hide dot files = yes deadtime = 15 disable spoolss = yes show add printer wizard = no add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %u time server = yes #======================== Share Definitions ========================= [homes] comment = Home Directory browseable = no writable = yes # Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/netlogon guest ok = yes writable = no #...Lots more shares...<snip> #=========================end config file============================= -- Fail to learn history-repeat it.
