Samba as an NT PDC

[Mayers, P J]

True, the documentation is a little behind the times, but you're making
yourself no friends with that attitude.

I suggest reading the list archives.

In case you're wondering, the following smb.conf should suffice:

   workgroup = WORKGROUP
   server string = Samba Server

   security = user
   encrypt passwords = yes
   smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd

   socket options = TCP_NODELAY 

   local master = yes
   os level = 110
   domain master = yes 
   preferred master = yes
   domain logons = yes

   logon script = %m.bat
   logon script = %U.bat
   logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U

   wins support = yes
   dns proxy = no 


The important options being domain logons = yes.

Then create a machine account

<add MACHINENAME$ to system passwd file>
smbpasswd -a -m MACHINENAME

(note, no $ in smbpasswd command)

MACHINENAME is the NetBIOS name.

Join the domain, and away you go.

Cheers,
Phil

What documentation are you talking about ? The man pages ? The
samba-ntdom.txt which points out that you should subscribe to this list
?
I had a samba PDC running about half a year ago. But when I tried to set
up one short before Christmas I was completely lost.
So read WHAT documentation ?
