You need to make sure that your node type is hybrid or you will not be able to contact the samba server. I have had this problem before and that is how I fixed it.

[Samba] A domain controller for the domain could not by contacted (2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian)
Hello, I'm having problems using Samba as an primary domain controller. I am using debian woody as our platform. The version of samba is 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian and i followed the instructions which can be found on the following url: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/tutorials/samba/. In short this covers: - creating the config file - creating the users / groups - creating directory structure - configuring the windows client I attached my config file's /logging from my debian woody system. I did the following things on the windows client (Windows XP Professional 2002 Service Pack 1) - Open the Local Security Policy editor (Start - All Programs - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy). - Locate the entry Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel (always). Disable it. - Locate the entry Domain member: Disable machine account password changes. Make sure it's disabled as well. - Locate the entry Domain member: Require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key. Disable it. - Next, download the WinXP_SignOrSeal registry patch from www.samba.org http://www.samba.org or collect it from the Further resources: Downloads and developerWorks http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/tutorials/samba/samba-6-2.html section at the end of this tutorial. Apply it by double-clicking and answering Yes to the dialog prompt. - Now join the domain the same as you would for Windows NT or 2000. Right-click My Computer, select Properties, Computer Name, and Change. Or click the Network ID button and run the Network Wizard. I put some screenshots of windows on the following locations: http://www.nergens.org/samba/ComputerNameChanges.PNG and http://www.nergens.org/samba/ComputerProperties.PNG ( i searched on the mailarchive, but i couldnt find any pointers / im kinda new to smb so i dont know how to debug) Could someone please help me here?

Re: [Samba] A domain controller for the domain could not by contacted (2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian)
I am running on RedHat, but everything should be same on server side. Try adding the following lines into the smb.conf file: password level = 8 username level = 8 encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = yes pam password change = yes obey pam restrictions = yes I have these lines in my conf and everything is working for me, even WinXP now. The first two lines are for the case differences between Win linux. All version of win beyond Win95 defaults to encrypted passwords, hence line 3. I have two password files, /etc/passwd for Linux smbpasswd for Samba, users must be in both to authenticate, hence lines 4-5. Lines 6-7 were in my default config and things work, so I did not question them. If this does not work, please email me complete smb.conf file, and I will do a more thorough comparison. Good Luck.
