Hello,
I've got 2 WIN2K Pro workstations on my home lan that I'd like to
enable network logon for. I've been banging my head against a wall for
the last four hours trying to get this sorted, but to no avail.
I keep getting the same error when trying to enter the Domain name into
the "WORKGROUP" field in Win2K network properties:
"The following error occured validating the name "my_domainname", This
condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For more information
about troubleshooting common DNS lookup problems see the following
Microsoft blah., blah.., blah..,
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted".
Here's what I've got in smb.conf:
Global Settings:
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4
workgroup = <my_domain>
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server
hosts allow = 192.168.1 127.
domain admin group = @wheel
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
local master = yes
os level = 255
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
# per user logon script
# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
; logon script = %m.bat
# run a specific logon batch file per username
; logon script = %U.bat
# Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT)
# %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username
# You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
; logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS
Server
wins support = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
# Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain
Logons [netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
guest ok = no
writeable = no
share modes = no
To begin with I added a user in /etc/passwd for one of the machines:
<winbox$>:*:1003:1000:<winbox$>:/non:/nonexistent
Here's what smbstatus gives:
# smbstatus
Samba version 2.2.6
Service uid gid pid machine
----------------------------------------------
No locked files
#
And this is what syslog has:
# tail /var/log/log.smbd

I've not got printing set up on the FBSD box as yet, so I'm thinking
that the above errors for CUPS aren't a problem, but I could be wrong..,
I've tried googling, and checking samba's docs (mostly for £inux), and
Microsoft help, but I'm not any clearer on how to proceed. I'd
appreciate any assistance, pointers to a "the secret FBSD" doc somewhere
that gives at least a minimal setup from which to start..,
TIA
Stacey
