[Samba] Domain Help

[Curtis Strite (SCD Services)]

Tony,

I beleive I had this same problem.

I was able to get around it by first of all adding the machine account to
the Windows 2K PDC.

I can't remember off the top of my head where that feature is in windows 2K
control panel.

Then try connecting if that doesn't work.  Check for a MACHINE.SID file on 
your *nix box.  If there's one it's probably in the same directory as your
smb.conf file.  If there's one in there delete it.  and touch a new one.

Now You need to use the smpasswd -a -j command or something like that.  I
know this was my problem in that I had to use the -j argument to get samba
to join an existing windows domain.

do a man on smbpasswd and it should have all the details on how to use the
-j argument.  If you still have problems, let me know and I'll see if I can
dig up my old notes.

Later,
Curt

Hello List,
My environment is Tru64 version 4.0f Unix.  The domain is Win 2k.
I am having 2  problems:
1)  # smbclient -L epicprod
added interface ip=10.9.244.211 bcast=10.9.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Got a positive name query response from 10.9.244.46 ( 10.9.244.211 )
Password:
Domain=[NMFF-NET] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.2]
Sharename      Type      Comment
---------      ----      -------
test           Disk      A test share
epic           Disk      Epic Applications
IPC$           IPC       IPC Service (epicprod)
ADMIN$         Disk      IPC Service (epicprod)
root           Disk      Home Directories
Server               Comment

EPICPROD             epicprod
Workgroup            Master

The master showing from in the smbclient command does not show, or shows a
machine that is not actually a Domain Controller.
How can the Domain Controller be set?  I have tried manipulating the
smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = nmff-net
server string = epicprod
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
name resolve order = wins DNS
security = server
password server = 10.9.244.32
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
local master = no
wins server = 10.9.244.46
admin users = tbrown
preferred master = yes
os level = 0


My next problem is when I do this from the DOS prompt:
net use z: \epicprodtest
z:
cacls
I get:
F
R
Everyone: R
Is this indicating that the machine is not officially "registered" in the
domain.  What is the proper technique to register a machine in an Win2K
domain?
Thanks in advance,
