[Samba] Lost my Samba PDC, trying to rebuild

[Robert Moskowitz]

My PDC is based on the Amahi server in PDC mode, running on Fedora 12.

I got it working previously through a bit of trial and error, and then 
bug fixes to Amahi.  Friday I lost my drive and did not have backups of 
my smb.conf, or my profile directories for my roaming profiles, or most 
of my data.  I had a rsync kind or written, but had not croned it yet....

So the rebuild is well underway.  It looks like my server is set. So 
'key' lines in smb.conf are:

workgroup = HOME
server string = home.htt
netbios name = hda
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 99 -s /bin/false 
-M %u


so I added my first computer into the domain.  I did this by logging in 
locally as administrator, changing it to a workgroup then changing it 
back to my domain.  Looking at that script line, I suspect I can do add 
the other computers just by running that command?

The problem comes with users.   The users were user.HOME in 'Documents 
and Settings'.  But so far on the one computer I have tried with the one 
user I have on that computer, it is creating a new profile for 
user.HDA.  What controls the profile directory on the computer (btw, the 
OS is XP)?  What do I need to do for it to use the profile of user.HOME?
