Windows Clients cannot logon to samba PDC

[Didier Hung Wan Luk]

Hello all,

I am trying to make samba acting as a PDC for my windows clients but I am getting errors like

"The System cannot log you on now because the domain LINUX is not available"


I have tried to logon with a win2k and winnt clients all giving me the same error.

When verifying the Samba-HOWTO I found an error like but it's telling to delete the private/WORKGROUP.SID restart smbd and the rejoin the domain.

But I could not find the file "WORKGROUP.SID" nor "LINUX.SID"

Is there something that I am doing wrong?
I am using Samaba 2.2 on a RedHat 7.3
I did verify if the machine account was created and it seems to be ok..

For the "add user script" is it the same as the "add machine script" ?

I have tried to create the machine account manually also but still give me the same error..
