I have bought SuSE Enterprise Server 10 from Novell. I have configured LDAP & Samba as PDC for my local LAN. Now when I try to join my clients workstations using the Administrator as username, I get the error " user not found". Infact, when I see the LDAP database, the machine account is added. But still the clients do net get added to the Domain. Kindly help me in this regard. The following is a configuration of my GLOBAL Seetings in smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = SCS printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = Z: acl compatibility = win2k add machine script = /sbin/yast /usr/share/YaST2/data/add_machine.ycp %m$ domain logons = Yes domain master = Yes idmap backend = ldap:ldap://localhost idmap gid = 10000-20000 idmap uid = 10000-20000 ldap admin dn = cn=Administrator,dc=scs,dc=com ldap group suffix = ou=group ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap passwd sync = Yes ldap ssl = Off ldap suffix = dc=scs,dc=com ldap user suffix = ou=people local master = Yes logon script = logon.bat netbios name = SCSPDC os level = 65 passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1 preferred master = Yes restrict anonymous = no security = user server signing = Auto server string = SCS PDC username map = /etc/samba/smbusers wins support = Yes
you should retry with a recent version of samba, say what version of client os you use, provide log files and maybe sniffs.

closing - no feedback for 5 years and obviously not a generic samba problem
