SetMachineAccountPrivilege >> Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1

[MischaTheEvil]

Hi there all,

I'm a new member of this forum. It looks very good...

I'm having a problem with my Samba configuration I want to share with the board. Maybe someone has experience with this issue or has some usefull ideas...

I'm using the ClarkConnect Home-edition Linux-Distro (

http://www.clarkconnect.org)

for my (home) server. It's running Samba v.3.0.20a-1, as a PDC, and it's working ok. But because of security reasons I want the user root out of my samba-config. Now I want to give another user (admin) the permissions to add machines into my domain. In Putty I gave the command:

[b][COLOR=red]net -U root rpc rights grant 'DOMAIN\admin' setMachineAccountPrivilege[/color][/b]

but after filling in the password for root I get this error:

Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1.


I have tested this for the second time on my test-network but then I got the same error.


Here's a copy of my smb.conf:

The "normal" net rap-commands do work good...
