I'm trying to setup OpenSUSE 11.0 as a PDC on a small test network at home.
So far it's sort of going good I guess. I'm setup SUSE and think I have configure Samba correct, well sort of. Not really what I was after. I wanted SUSE to act as a PDC and have a Windows XP machine be able to join the domain (with SUSE as the PDC).
I am aware that the samba users also have to be system users (that's what I read) on the Linux box. Have turned LDSP Server - ON (Doesn't make a difference though). Turned 'Samba Server' - ON. Below is the smb.conf file (this is just a test/trial run I'm trying here).
[global]
workgroup = domain
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
map to guest = Bad User
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
usershare allow guests = No
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
domain logons = Yes
domain master = Yes
security = user
netbios name = test
local master = Yes
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
browseable = Yes
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Service
path = %H
read only = No
store dos attributes = Yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
[users]
comment = All users
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/
[groups]
comment = All groups
path = /home/groups
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin root
force group = ntadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
write list = root
I played around with a few other things but they are back to default settings of turned off now as that didn't seem to make any difference.
From my Windows XP machine (client/workstation) I can't join a domain, but I can join the SUSE box as a WORKGROUP. I can view the shared folders etc which is all good and well.
But I really wanted to setup as a PDC. I've searched google and can't really find any specific documents for setting up Linux (specifically OpenSUSE) for a PDC. I was wondering if anyone can lead/push me in the right direction to some good reading which might be able to help me setup a PDC and not create a workgroup.
Thanks in advanced.
EDIT: When setting up Samba Server I did select Primary PDC in the settings.
