Hello!

I'm kind of stuck here. I'd like to set up a Samba PDC server using a 
MySQL database backend, so that me and my colleges can easily administer 
the users with a PHP based web interface. I've already installed and 
configured Samba 3.0.11 and MySQL 4.0 on FreeBSD. Everything seems to 
work great, except I can't login. I always get a message that says the 
domain controller is not availabe or the computer account is not 
existing. The log file says: "rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(261) 
md4pw: Workstation PC1$: no account in domain". What did I do wrong? :(

This is the workstation account:
Unix username:        pc1$
NT username:          pc1$
Account Flags:        [W          ]
User SID:             S-1-5-21-3555237956-4202347196-2499260156-3008
Primary Group SID:    S-1-5-21-3555237956-4202347196-2499260156-515
Full Name:            User &
Home Directory:       
HomeDir Drive:        
Logon Script:         
Profile Path:         
Domain:               test
Account desc:         
Workstations:         
Munged dial:          
Logon time:           0
Logoff time:          0

That's what I already did:

- I've created the user accounts in FreeBSD (user1)

- I've created the machine accounts in FreeBSD (pc1$)

- I've added the users in Samba: "pdbedit -a -u user1"

- I've added the workstation accunts in Samba: "pdbedit -a -m -u pc1"

- I've checked that the accounts are correctly inserted in the database

- I can change the computer's domain to the Samba PDC's one

- I can open home shares using samba accounts


I have searched around the Internet, but I could not find a solution. :( 
I hope somebody can give me a hint! Thank you!


Kind regards,

camouflageX
