My smb problem..

[Mike Harris]

Fredrik,

Attached my smb.conf file, but don't take it as gospel - it's very quickly
configured (and there's a few mistakes in it with netlogon and profiles) so
I could just get it up and running and test.  In my case, I'm using my Samba
server as DMB and WINS and connection with W2K Professional.  I couldn't get
this to work until after the TNG updates yesterday afternoon CET as before
smbd crashed when attempting to join the domain.

I compiled TNG with no configure options, default make and install.  Started
all 12 daemons.  I've a RedHat 6.x script at
http://www.psand.net/scripts/samba/smb-2.1.html that does this.

Anyway loosely, here are my set-up steps:

1.  Set-up minimal smb.conf:

workgroup=DOMAIN
security=user
encrypt passwords=yes
domain logons=yes
preferred master=yes
domain master=yes
wins support=yes
announce version=4.2
os level=32

and the homes share.

2.  Add the Samba server to domain and join:

useradd SAMBASRV$
smbpasswd -a -m SAMBASRV
smbpasswd -j DOMAIN

3.  Add the W2K machine:

useradd W2KPRO1$
smbpasswd -a -m W2KPRO1

4.  Set-up W2K machine to support NetBIOS over TCP/IP, WINS points at Samba
server.  The join the domain.  When prompted for admin name enter
DOMAIN\root and password.  I've added an account 'Administrator' to my UNIX
password file and smbpasswd to speed things up.

That's all I did!   If step 4 fails, I found that re-running smbpasswd on
the machine name helped.

Server Manager and User Manager work fine for viewing information about the
Samba server.  Obviously none of the W2K ADS tools work whatsoever or at
all!!

Hope this helps,

Mike Harris,
Psand España.
