Can't get started

[David Lloyd]

OK, I've tried everything...

I've been downloading the CVS source and following the faq
http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/samba_tng/faq, although I left the
installation in the default location (/usr/local/samba).


I've set up a machine as a PDC with two shared directories

I've been able to join the new domain in the network control panel, and
I can access the samba shares, but I can't log in to the domain.

I get the error message "The System cannot log you onto this domain
because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing
or the password on that account is incorrect."

I guess this means the trust account.

The samba-tng machine is called 'proto', Redhat Linux 6.1
The NT workstation is called 'tester' (or possibly 'TESTER'), NT4 sp6

/etc/passwd contains:

tester$:*:801:800:NT workstation:/dev/null:/bin/false

/usr/local/samba/smbpasswd contains only:

root:0:9B209E99D9F4B314AAD3B435B51404EE:D21178465D8B61FA8DB6D1E91A114BDD:[          
]:LCT-38DA3F59:
david:1168:366478C1B2FD5ABDAAD3B435B51404EE:87BC14334FB20DFE0D993A61018A1EA8:[U

]:LCT-38DA48FF:

these accounts were made exactly as per faq (although I ran 'smbpasswd
david' to set my password on it, then removed the D flag from the david
account by hand)

the account 'david' does not exist in /etc/passwd but is a yp account.

Here is the smb.conf:


# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = TESTDOM
        log level = 20

        domain logons = Yes
        security = user
        encrypt passwords = Yes

        os level = 65
        domain master = Yes
        preferred master = Yes
        local master = Yes

        wins support = yes 
        time server = yes


[s1]
        path = /samba1
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes

[s2]
        path = /samba2
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes


This is, I think, everything that I have done. My guess would be I've
missed out something really obvious and stupid, but I'm really a bit
green when it comes to NT.

Cheers,
David
