I configured Samba 3.0.20bb (in a Debian Sarge server) using the same smb.conf file I was using in a Samba 2.2.3a-13 (on Debian Woody server) but the XP box doesn't let me join the domain. I also try different smb.conf files using some examples as base. The XP box ask me for a user account with permission to join the domain. I use ferrocement/root (ferrocement is the name of the domain, and root is also defined as samba user) and, after a while I the the message : The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "FERROCEMENT": The parameter is incorrect. Here is my smb.conf file : ;*******************section global***************** [global] wins support = yes dns proxy = yes time server = yes netbios name = ferrolinux server string = Ferrocement PDC running %v socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 os level = 64 prefered master = yes local master = yes domain master = yes security = user encrypt passwords = true domain logons = yes debug level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m log level = 2 max log size = 50 hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile logon drive = X: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U workgroup = FERROCEMENT add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false -M %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null %u ;*******************section homes***************** [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = False writable = True ;*******************section profiles***************** [profiles] path = /home/samba/profiles browseable = False writable = True create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 ;*******************section printers***************** [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = True path = /tmp printable = yes public = no writable = no create mode = 0700
Please take this to the Samba mailing list. Seems to be a misconfiguration error.
