[Samba] Explorer/PDC

[Sean Elble]

Fridtjof,

My wild guess is that something in the profiles is dependent on the server
name, and this is what is causing the crash. Is it possible to revert to the
old server's name and security identifier? This would seem to be the best
solution to me, but only if it's possible, naturally. (Please forgive me if
I sound a little off; 1:30 AM EST) Hope that helps.

Hi
I've just set up a new Samba PDC-Server (2.2.3a) that has to do the job
the old server (also Samba PDC 2.2.3a) did.
I compiled Samba, copied the config-files, passwd, group, shadow and
smbpasswd onto the new server and changed the config-file values to fit
the new name of the server.
I logged out all clients, deactivated the old server and started the
new one.
No problems so far.
The Win2000 clients couldn't log in first (new PDC, new servername), so
I reconnected to the Domain as Windows-admin (giving root's
smb-password) and changed the IP of the WINS-server.
Now normal users can log in, but immediately after the login the
Windows Explorer crashes and crashes and crashes...
If I delete the user-profile on the server, the next login is possible
without problems, but thats not a solution (currently about 500
profiles in /home/$user/.Profiles).
I have no idea if this is a Samba or Windows problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The Imperial Vendor or Contractor probably told them that droid armies
don't need redundant command centers, nor any kind of high
availability...
you're supposed to buy several, and cluster them.
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Droids?
