[Samba] Re: Samba not listening on 127.0.0.1... hua???

[Michael Lueck]

Idunnaknow.... Think I am going to start over on my documentation / procedure on how to set up a Samba 3 PDC. This go around I was forced to "smbpasswd -a root" and have root be the user running the 
net command (-user=root) NEVER had to go to that extreme before. We do not ever have root listed in our smbpasswd file. Always rely on a group mapping back to a group in /etc/group to promote/demote 
Samba PDC admins. Then use the new "net rpc" stuff to allow a special account to join workstations to the domain... granting that is what always fights.

Duct tape solution for this test / demo box (I hope, find out as I put it through its paces.) I don't see why the initial boot strap of setting up security on a fresh install has to be such a pain, 
and so different each time I build a box from the same Debian Sarge CD, install the latest Samba (that being THE variable), and run through the docs / scripts I have saved / prepared. Seems to me the 
results would be more consistent.

l8r!
