when file and directory permissions prohibit access to
nobody.
During the LOGON.BAT, I issued a net config
Computer name \\LGA00D0B724628B
User name GPALMER
Workgroup LGANET
Workstation root directory C:\WINDOWS
Software version
Resolved problem:
Had decided to use global force user/force group options for the shares.
It worked like a charm. All my shares now had default groups and users.
I did not realize how truly global these settings were. After a careful
review of the logs, I noticed that root indeed logged in.
[global]
#server naming
netbios name = CHARON
workgroup = GPNET
server string = GPNET PDC Server
#authentication as PDC
domain logons = yes
domain master = yes
security = user
password level = 8
username level = 8
smb passwd
Migrating a working Samba 2.2.8a Domain Controller to 3.0.2a
Using smbpasswd file
compiled using gcc 3.2.2
Used working 2.2.8 configuration
Should have included this information
Smbpassword already includes a root user with uid of 0.
Tried to join domain as XNET\root with root/samba root password ( unix and
smb passwords are the same).
Successfully joined domain using credentials from a different samba3 box.
Thanks for you quick
