Unfortunately that was not the solution. I followed the recipe and still
encountered the error. Here's a more detailed description of the
environment:
A linux server running samba-2.2.6 (compiled with --with-ssl --with-pam) and
openssl-0.9.6g (compiled with shared libraries). It is configured for
security=user, domain master=yes, preferred master=yes, os level=34, domain
logins = yes. I have no other Windows servers on the network so Samba is
the only DC (primary or otherwise). I have 5 workstations all running WinXP
SP1. I set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\req
uiresignorseal=0 on each workstation.
I get the message when I attempt to add "Domain Users" to the local machine
group "Administrators". I've tried using the local machine user
Administrator or the domain admin user "root" but am still unsuccessful.
I haven't found where to configure the equivelent of active directory or
group policies on this release of samba so if anything like that needs to be
configured, it'll have to be on the workstation.
As an aside, I have roaming profiles and they work just peachy.
Other than this issue samba works great!
Thanks in advance for your help.
