MACHINE.SID

[Justin Weissig]

Hi,

I do not want this server to be a PDC or a BDC i just want to serve shares!

I submitted a question earlier today regarding samba taking over my domain
(http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-January/063813.html). When you
have joined a domain a file is created in
/usr/local/samba/private/MACHINE.SID with you security identification for
that domain.

When you switch domains without deleting this file and then attempt to join
the computer to a second domain what would cause the samba server to confuse
the PDC and BDC?? See
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q250263 (note the
link is flaky you might have to refresh the page 4 or 5 time before it comes
up) for and exact situation that we have. Here is my smb.conf file. I am not
sure if this is causing the issue but it is possible?

Also should i be adding "local master = no" to the [global] section.

<snip>

[global]

	encrypt passwords = yes

	winbind separator = +
	winbind cache time = 10
	template shell = /bin/bash
	template homedir = /home/%D/%U
	winbind uid = 10000-20000
	winbind gid = 10000-20000
	#winbind unum users = yes
	#winbind unum groups = yes
	workgroup = winserver
	security = domain
	password server = altec lansing

	domain master = no
	preferred master = no
	domain logons = no

	log file = /var/log/samba.log
	log level = 3

[tmp]
	comment = tmp file location
	path = /tmp
	read only = no
	public = no

</snip>

Thanks
