Hello,
I came across a starange problem while adding a Window PC to samba
domain. I run samba-2.2.5-10 on RH-7.2 with 2.4.9-34enterprise kernel.
When I try to add WinNT PC to a domain I get this error:
"Machine account for this cmputer does not exist or is unavailable".
Obviously there is a problem in creating machine accouts. I checke that
account "machine-name" does not exist in /etc/passswd and in
/etc/samba/smbpasswd.
However if I create "machine-name" account in /etc/passwd and then try
to add the PC I get the following error:
"Unable to add or change account on the domain. The account information
entered does not grant sufficient privilage to create or change
account." I should add that I log in a local WinNT machine as local
administrator and try to add machine account to a domain as root, so I
should have sufficient privilages. It looks like samba root does not map
to system root.Another point is that the secont procedure actually
create a machine account in /etc/samba/smbpasswd (the one in /etc/passwd
was already created manualy before) with password NO PASSWORD.
