SV: The latest CVS Samba

[Kim Tingkær]

Hi again,
 
i have something to add to my last email which i think is rather
important... I discovered that with the setting (this is NOT with the CVS
version i wanted to use rahter with the clean ftp - and i think even the
first alpha2):
 
    add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -noconfig -group users -d /dev/null
-s /bin/false %u
 
what is added to the passwd file is "client_" <- notice the underscore...
 
i changed the setting to:
 
    add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -noconfig -group users -d /dev/null
-s /bin/false %m$
 
and it was added correctly (both in passwd and smbpasswd) by samba! But i
_still_ got that cursed "The user account is a machineaccount blah..." msg.
And the logfile for the machine i try to add says something like
"...:get_md4pw(299) get_md4pw: Workstaion CLIENT$: no account in domain..."
Where CLIENT$ is the machinename i tried to add (just i tried to add it in
lowercase and so it was apparantly).
 
So one could draw from this that it isnt the "add user script" command
failing, just maybe samba's use of it.
 
Am i way off base? I could see someone changed this in the CVS i couldnt
compile, is that so?
 
Best regards
  Kim

Emne: The latest CVS Samba



Hi everyone,
 
i have just used the small win32 version of the CVS util (for the first
time) to download the most recent additions to the samba source.
 
The reason i had to is the error i kept getting that (when logging the win2k
client on the samba 2.2-alpha2 pdc) the "The account used is a computer
acount. Use your global user account or local ...". Now i read about a
solution to this problem on:
 
    http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba-ntdom/2001-February/thread.html
<http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba-ntdom/2001-February/thread.html> 
 
Now the guy originally posting the problem there didnt get it to work either
and so i'm here with yet another problem, that actually seems rather
strange, i think :)
 
When i first did the ./configure (from within the source did) bash didnt
seem to find the command, and i looked closer at the configure file it
self... it had, in the first line of the script, the entry "#! /bin/sh".
Okay, so i comparing that to some other script that worked i saw that the a
space had to go. After correcting this (to "#!/bin/sh") in all scripts in
the source did i seemed to configure perfectly... yet when i then "make'd"
it i got nothing but parse errors -and alot of them. So in so many words...
I'm fu..ed. 
 
Am i the only one with this problem?
 
Additionally i can say i did this:
 
1. (From my win2k box) Ran CVS to get the lates complete source of samba.
2. Transfered that to a cdrom and from there to my RH6.2 linux box supposed
to become the samba.
3. Danced with configure and make... (The first source straight from
ftp://sunsite.auc.dk <ftp://sunsite.auc.dk>  worked a-ok)
 
My config (in relation to the logon error)
workgroup = vesterbro
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
status=yes
security=user
encrypt password = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -noconfig -group users -d /dev/null -s
/bin/false %u
os level = 65
domain logons = yes
logon script = %U.bat
guest account = ftp
domain admin group @adm
unix password sync = no
lock dir = /tmp
 
So i pretty much followed the samba-pdc-howto. I also added an entry in
smbpasswd for root so the adding of Machine Accounts can proceede
automatically. And this is where i'm a bit in doubt with regards to the
howto doc in that the author states (under the section "Machine Accounts")
that:
 
"There must be an entry in smbpasswd for root and root must be mentioned in
domain admins..." 
 
I havent figured out what "domain admins" describes. 
 
My question basically is - how do i make the CVS version work?
 
 
Thanks in advance
Kim
