[Samba] RHEL 4.0 / Samba 3.0.10 Domain Controller

[Max Clark]

Hi all,

I have been trying to get my RHEL 4.0 machine to act as a Windows NT 
domain controller so that I can get rid of some old NT 4.0 servers. I 
have the shares and permissions working without issue. The only problem 
is that I cannot get a Windows 2000 workstation to register to the Samba 
domain controller.

I have gone through everything that I can think of, and have gone 
through more than one tutorial/howto to try to get this configured. The 
first problem seems to be that RHEL 4.0 doesn't allow "$" in the 
username when useradd is executed. When I create the useraccount and 
then edit the password and shadow files with vipw I still cannot get the 
Windows 2000 machine to join the domain.

For what it's worth I have included the smb.conf in the email. What am I 
missing to get this working?

Thanks in advance,
Max
