Hello.  I had this same problem.  I finally stopped trying to download the
CVS from windows and and did it from Linux.  That seemed to solve all my
problems.  It configured and make'd just fine.

    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

    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 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
