[Samba] netlogon sometimes works (corrected with smb.conf attached)

[jason.walton at nomadsoft.com]

apologies, the smb.conf keeps on going astray, here it is (hopefully)

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command 
"testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.

##
## Basic Server Settings
##
        netbios name = PDC
        netbios aliases = FILESERVER
        workgroup = NOMAD
        server string = Nomad PDC (Samba %v)

        # This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
        # connections to machines which are on your local network. The
        # following example restricts access to two C class networks and
        # the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
        # the smb.conf man page
        hosts allow = 192.168.2. 192.168.1. 127.0.0.1

        # Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to 
/etc/passwd
        # otherwise the user "nobody" is used
        ; guest account = pcguest

        # this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
        # that connects
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

        # How much information do you want to see in the logs?
        # default is only to log critical messages
        log level = 1

        # Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
        max log size = 10250

        # Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
        # security_level.txt for details.
        security = user
        domain admin group = root administrator @sysadm

##
## Network Browsing
##
        # set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a 
master
        # browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules 
apply
        local master = yes

        # OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master 
browser
        # elections. The default value (20) should be reasonable
        os level = 99

        # Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. 
This
        # allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use 
this
        # if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this 
job
        domain master = yes

        # Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election 
on startup
        # and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
        preferred master = yes

        remote browse sync = 192.168.1.3

##
## WINS & Name Resolution
##
        # Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
        # WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's 
WINS Server
        wins support = yes

        # WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS 
Client
        #       Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, 
but NOT both
        ; wins server = w.x.y.z

        # WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
        # behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must 
be
        # at least one  WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
        ; wins proxy = yes

        # DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS 
names
        # via DNS nslookups.
        dns proxy = no


##
## Passwords & Authentication
##
        add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 400 -s 
/bin/false %u 
        # Use password server option only with security = server
        # The argument list may include:
        #   password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name]
        # or to auto-locate the domain controller/s
        ;   password server = *
        ;   password server = <NT-Server-Name>

        # You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
        # ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba 
documentation.
        # Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
        encrypt passwords = yes

        # Should smbd obey the session and account lines in 
/etc/pam.d/samba ?
        # only available if --with-pam was used at compile time
        ; obey pam restrictions = yes

        # When using encrypted passwords, Samba can synchronize the local
        # UNIX password as well.  You will also need the "passwd chat" 
parameters
        unix password sync = yes

        # how should smbd talk to the local system when changing a UNIX
        # password?  See smb.conf(5) for details
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd -r nis %u

        # define this as a standard, as it bloody moves around!
        smb passwd file = /opt/private/smbpasswd
# define how the password is mapped via NIS
# now define the NIS MASTER method
        passwd chat = New*password:* %n\n \n*Re-enter*new*password:* %n\n 
\n*NIS*passwd/attributes*changed*on**
        passwd chat debug = no

##
## Domain Control
##
        admin users = root

        # Enable this if you want Samba act as a domain controller.
        # make sure you have read the Samba-PDC-HOWTO included in the 
documentation
        # before enabling this parameter
        domain logons = yes

        # if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
        # per user logon script
        # run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
        logon script = %G.bat

        # Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT)
        #        %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is 
username
        #        You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
        logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U

##
## Printing
##

        # If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
        # than setting them up individually then you'll need this
        load printers = yes

        # you may wish to override the location of the printcap file
        ; printcap name = /etc/printcap

        # on SystemV system setting printcap name to lpstat should allow
        # you to automatically obtain a printer list from the SystemV 
spool
        # system
        ; printcap name = lpstat

        # It should not be necessary to specify the print system type 
unless
        # it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
        # bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
        ; printing = bsd

        # Enable this to make Samba 2.2 behavior just like Samba 2.0
        # not recommended nuless you are sure of what you are doing
        ; disable spoolss = yes

        # list of users and groups which should be able to remotely manage
        # printer drivers installed on the server
        ; printer admin = root, +ntadmin
