I am very new to Ubuntu/Linux/Samb and have very simple goals:
Set up an Ubuntu Server as a Domain Controller to provide single signon for
students using study center PC's. All of the PC's are Windows Vista
Business.
I have successfully added a PC to the domain.
I have successfully created a network user and logged on to the PC.
However, the Samba log is throwing errors and I have a login script I would
like to run that never runs.
My smb.conf:
[global]
netbios name = PIUSERVER1
workgroup = PIUDOMAIN
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
dns proxy = no
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
encrypt passwords = true
security=user
username map = /usr/bin/smbpasswd
username map is the location of a file that contains user mappings, not
the samba user listing.
'logon script = /scripts/LoginScript.bat
passdb backend = tdbsam
'passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://HTR.piudomain.com
obey pam restrictions = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:*
%n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
'pam password change = yes
map to guest = bad user
domain master = yes
domain logins = yes
local master = yes
wins support = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 255
[netlogon]
'path = /home/%u
guest ok = no
Everything below belongs in [global], rather than [netlogon].
logon path =
logon drive =
logon home =
logon script = /scripts/LoginScript.bat
Misc
I have no idea if the above smb.conf is good or not. The only information I
have found is some from a book which has a chapter on setting up a Domain
Controller. The book suggested the following parameter but it causes logon
issues with it in the smb.conf:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://HTR.mydomain.com (and I did put my domain
name in).
If you want to use ldap, look here:
http://wiki.makethemove.net/index.php?title=LDAP-Samba
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix
ldap adds another layer of difficulty, so you may wish to start with
tdbsam instead.
No ldap example:

When I log in my user, this shows up in the Samba log.

I have the script in /scripts/LoginScript.bat on my utuntu server. I is a
case where I want to run the same script for every user.
Please assume I know nothing. My background is all on the Windows side but
I am trying to set up this Linux Server to be our Domain Controller instead
of using Microsoft products.
I know nothing about Unix, linux, and command lines give me a headache.
apt-get install swat samba-doc
Browse to http://samba_server:901/
SWAT will allow you to forgo much of the command line. samba-doc will
give you help linked to each
parameter listed in SWAT and what its default is.
Note that when SWAT rewrites the smb.conf, any existing parameters in
smb.conf that are the default
will be removed.
I would appreciate any help you can give me but assume I know nothing.
Run testparm to check for smb.conf errors.
Check the web for Vista-specific requirements.
