Hi all,
I'm running Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 8 (installed via packages from sunfreeware)
as a primary domain controller for a small domain of windows NT 4.0
workstations. Logging on to the domain works fine from the workstations but I
get an error saying that it couldn't download my profile from the server. I
don't want to use roaming profiles so I attempted to disable them by setting
logon path and logon home to null in my smb.conf file. I beleive this is the
correct way of disabling profiles, please let me know if I'm wrong. Anyway,
once this is done when I try to logon to the domain I get an error saying that
the primary domain controller couldn't be located. Does anyone know how to fix
this? I don't want profiles, but obviously I do need the PDC to work
properly.... THANKS!
Beau
Here is what my GLOBAL section in smb.conf looks like:
client code page = 437
netbios name = Samba_PDC
workgroup = SambaDomain
domain logons = yes
server string = PDC
interfaces = 192.168.100.5/25
status = yes
browseable = yes
lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
null passwords = no
wins support = yes
name resolve order = lmhosts hosts bcast
os level = 65
dns proxy = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
getwd cache = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
keep alive = 60
dead time = 30
locking = yes
map hidden = yes
map archive = yes
map system = yes
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd chat = "*new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *changed*"
passwd program = /usr/bin/yppasswd %u
follow symlinks = yes
logon path =
logon home =
Also, to be thorough, here is my netlogon section:
comment = "Windows Domain Netlogon"
path = /export/samba/logon
public = no
writeable = no
browseable = no
