Configuring samba as a PDC for our lan

[Ofer Nave]

Well, to tell you the truth, I know very little about OS levels, and have
never seen a map of Windows version => OS Level (though I've never
looked...), but I successfully configured my samba server as a PDC for Win2k
machines using the OS Level 64.

Also, don't forget 'security = user'.

Subject: Configuring samba as a PDC for our lan


Hi list.  I am trying to configure Samba to act as a PDC for our LAN.

Server is a Debian Linux system running Samba 2.2.2

Workstations are running Windows 2k Pro SP2.

I want the Samba server to handle authentication for all the clients as well
as manage there user profiles etc.

My main question is what do I have to set the OS level too, so as to have
the Samba server recognised as the highest
priority server on the lan, and what should the options

Domain Master, Local Master, etc be set to?

Attached below is my smb.conf file.

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = BLITZ
	netbios name = JOLT

	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
	max log size = 1000
	socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096
	dns proxy = No
	wins support = Yes
	invalid users = root

[profile]
	path = /home/profile
