Solaris 8 as PDC For Win 2K SP2

[David Highley]

I have not been able to get Samba to work as a PDC for Win 2k system.
I'm setting up Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 8. The Win 2k system has SP2
installed. This is my third attempt starting with version 2.2.0 of
Samba. I followed the documentation in Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf which
indicates that it is the latest information. By the way I believe that
there is an error in section 8.4.2 page 42. I believe the adduser script
command should use the same flags as the manual section 8.4.1 on page
41. Solaris system is running NIS.

Steps taken to turn Samba into PDC:
1) Stop Samba
2) Edit smb.conf turning on master options, all options per HowTo PDF
3) Disconnect NT 4.0 PDC from network.
4) Start Samba
5) Change network properties on Win 2k to a workgroup
6) Reboot Win 2k system
7) Change network properties to Domain
8) Use user root and password

I get one or the other of the following two errors with multiple
attempts:
- Win 2k system reports RPC error
- User or password not valid

Machine account entry gets created in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow file and
Samba smbpasswd file. Works find for NT 4.0 and of course Win 98
systems. Can hardly wait for Windows XP, not in my shop!

Log entries for Win 2k system multiple attempts:
