I'm trying to set up a new server to replace my previous domain controller/file&print server on my home network. My old server was running Debian/Etch on a 32bit sempron system with two HDs. The new one is running an old 64bit single-core processor and 3 HDs configured into multiple RAID 1 and 5 arrays (/boot as RAID 1 and /, /home, swap and a /backup directory as RAID 5). The new server is running Debian/Etch+1/2.
Samba was installed by default since I specified the new server as a file & print server. I rsync'ed the old /home to the new one to get the files across. Then I used SWAT to make my old server a member server and the new one a domain controller. Since I only had a few accounts I set them up manually on the new machine, taking care to ensure that the new Unix ids matched the old ones. File sharing is working well after I remapped the drives on a running XP/Pro workstation. However, I can't get logins to work. I've set up machine accounts for each XP/Pro workstation and used SWAT to create the new Samba accounts and enable them (with the same password as before) but XP/Pro refuses to allow the logins. I also tried mapping a share on the old server to a directory on the new and I get the same problem - it's having problems finding a DC. Here's my smb.conf (minus most of the shares), if that helps (ps, I will set the log level higher as part of my debugging so don't suggest I do that. However, any suggestions on what may be going wrong are welcome. :) ): # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.168.2.11 (192.168.2.11) # Date: 2009/01/03 15:47:32 [global] workgroup = RAHIM-DALE server string = %h server obey pam restrictions = Yes passdb backend = tdbsam passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . unix password sync = Yes syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g users %u delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G %g %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c Machine -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %u\$ logon script = scripts\logon.bat logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon drive = M: logon home = \\%L\%U domain logons = Yes preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes ldap ssl = no panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 username = root = administrator invalid users = root admin users = garydale, root printer admin = garydale printing = cups print command = lpq command = %p lprm command = include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles read only = No [netlogon] path = /home/samba/netlogon read only = No -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
