Can anyone help me out with my SAMBA PDC creation?

I followed all the sample lab/setups but still i receive message such
as the one below...

******************************

The domain name TESTDOMAIN might be a NetBIOS domain name.  If this is
the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.

If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the
following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.

An error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV)
resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain
TESTDOMAIN.

The error was: "No DNS servers configured for local system."
(error code 0x0000267C DNS_ERROR_NO_DNS_SERVERS)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.TESTDOMAIN

******************

I've been trying this out since last week and can't seem to make it
work!  I'm using 1 laptop and a PC, with RedHat Enterprise 4.0
installed.

I've got Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E.2

Does this mean that i still need WINS or DNS for this?


PLEASE HELP!  I'm realy at lost!

chris
