Samba PDC

[axman505]

There must be something that i am missing with setting up samba as a PDC.

I followed this tutorial:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba/index.html

but no go .. when i try to add my WIN 2k machine to the domain it just says cannot connect.

This machine does have a firewall but i wouldnt think that running samba as a PDC would require any other ports than just using samba normally for file sharing

Any thoughts?

I do not have a 98 machine to try this with, i was done with 98 a while ago.

My win2k machine is named Delta. Here are the following entrys out of the /etc/passwd file:

Delta$:x:505:201elta:/dev/null:/bin/false
DELTA$:x:506:201elta:/dev/null:/bin/false

Well windows 2000 and other nt machine require a machine trust account. You can make this by tpyeing in on the unix counsol smbpasswd -a -m "machine name" and that will make a machine trust account in smbpasswd file. Make sure to add the line admin users and the valid administration users. and then try to log in with that user.
