Hi !
I have a domain called EMAGIN, composed of NT workstations and an NT server
called SERVER1.In one of the NT workstations, i have also installed linux
mandrake7.2 in a partition. This machine is called kaoutar.

I've installed Samba in it, and tried to join the EMAGIN domain, letting
SERVER1 the domain contoller. I have shared a directory called KTI.

Here is my smb.conf:
"
[global]
        netbios name=kaoutar
        workgroup = EMAGIN
        server string = Samba %v on (%h)
  security = domain
  password server=SERVER1
  encrypt passwords = Yes
local master = no
domain controller=SERVER1
name resolve order =lmhosts wins hosts bcast
mangled names = yes

[KTI]
        comment = KI
        path = /var/www/html/site_kti
        writeable = no
        guest ok = Yes
        read only =yes
"
I have created a user account in linux and samba with the same
authentication parameters of the NT server administrator.

when i type : smbclient -U% -L LOCALHOST
I first got : unkonwn parameter encountered "domain controller"
then it gives the right results...

----

The %U is only valid in a Samba script, and Localhost does not define the
interface on which Samba is responding which is why you get an error

---

but i realized that it does not  make the right resolution for server1, so i
added the ip address of server1 to the /etc/host file then it updated the
error to:
"NT-STATUS-ACCESS-DENIED"

---

Eh, I don't think you understand what you are trying to query.

Try smbclient -L kaoutar -U username

Remember to replace "username" with a VALID SAMBA login name.

If you get a "bad password" error then that user does not exist in Samba or
on the target machine.

---

and that's also what it gives when i tried to make samba server join the
EMAGIN domain, so obviously samba have not yet joined the domain.

---

Eh, you haven't queried any machine which is part of the domain yet!

How about trying

smbclient -L SERVER1 -U username

---


By the way the "/etc/lmhost" is composed of only one line: 127.0.0.1
localhost !
is it normal ?

---

Yes

---

Well, the NT workstations and server easily access the shared directory!
However, when i try to browse the network via konquekor, it fails, it keeps
asking for server1 and kaoutar authentication.

---

Konqueror does not browse Windows shares by itself!
