[Samba] Join Windows machines to a Samba3 domain

[Lea Massiot]

Below is what I posted yesterday without the "raw" tags.

Below are some details about the Samba3 configuration which usually works
for me.

=== MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE /etc/smb.conf ===

[global]
   workgroup = MY_DOMAIN
   server string = %h Samba server
   log level = 1
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 1000
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
   logon path = 
   logon home =
   domain logons = yes
   os level = 254
   preferred master = yes
   domain master = yes
   local master = yes
   remote browse sync = yes
   passdb backend = v

[my_partage]
   comment = my_partage
   path = /my_partage
   force group = domadm
   read only = no
   create mask = 0664
   directory mask = 0775
   guest ok = yes

=== DOMAIN USERS' GROUP ===

I add a "domadm" group.

root> groupadd domadm
root> net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadm rid=512
type=d

I add the users the "domadm" group in "/etc/group":
domadm:x:1001:<username1>,<username2>,<username3>

=== MACHINES ===

root> groupadd machines

I add the machines on the LAN using the two commands:
root> useradd -g machines -s /dev/null -d /bin/false <machine_name>$
root> smbpasswd -a -m <machine_name>$

=== USERS ===

I add the users using the two commands:
root> useradd <username>
root> smbpasswd -a <username>

=== SHARE ===

root> mkdir -p /<my_partage>
root> chown <username>:domadm /<my_partage>
root> chmod g+w /<my_partage>


Below are some details about the BIND9 server and DHCPD server
configurations which usually works for me.

- I have two zone files for name resolution and reverse name resolution.
- The BIND9 and DHCPD are set to work together: when an IP is delivered by
the DHCPD server to a client machine, the BIND9 zone files are updated
automatically. 

Thank you for helping.
Best regards.
