<!-- ::
Timely Samba Release?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:: -->
<P><STRONG>
Hello,
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
I swear that the hardest thing to setup under Linux (at least for
me ) has been samba. Running Linux RedHat 6.1 &amp; have a windows 98
se machine. I see the Linux machine when i go into Network
Neighbourhood &amp; when i click on it i get the password box but it
ALWAYS fails. The message i am getting at the moment is this
</STRONG></P>
<pre><strong> [2001/04/08 04:02:05, 0] smbd/server.c:sig_hup(340)
Got SIGHUP
[2001/04/09 00:18:04, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1213)

</strong></pre>
<P><STRONG>
What i would truley like is to setup Linux as a domain controller
so when booting the windows machine validation is done via the
Linux machine by verifying against the password file or smbpasswd
file &amp; so then u have access to shares at that point. Does it have
to be WinNT to get this to work. I know their is the issue with
encrypted passwords. Currently my Linux machine is set to yes
Regards...

Hi Andrew,
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
It is very possible to have Win 95 and 98 logon to a Samba domain. I
assume you have read the relevant docs which come with Samba.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Have you added a Samba user to correspond with the one (your windows
username) you are trying to use. It seems to me that it is failing
because the username (and consequently the password) is not
there. Try 'smbpasswd -a username' also 'man smbpasswd' for further
details. Also bear in mind that Win 95 (and I assume 98) don't let
you specify a username when trying to login to the Samba server,
they just use your windows username.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
I hope this is sorts out your problem.

Kind regards
<br>Andrew Higgs

I was just reading about the Samba 2.2.0 release at
<A HREF="http://www.samba.org/samba/samba.html"
>http://www.samba.org/samba/samba.html</A>. The Samba team is continuing
to strive towards full domain controller and "MS Active Directory"
functionality. You should look at the new release and read every
shred of documentation. Linux/Samba as a domain controller is
still cutting edge (sometimes brushing against the cutting edge leaves
us dripping a bit of blood).
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
You'll especially want to read the PDC HOWTO documentation at
your nearest mirror of the Samba web site: <A HREF="http://www.samba.org"
>http://www.samba.org</A>
Just follow the "Documentation" link and look for the FAQs and
HOWTOs under the "New PDC Documentation" heading.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
There are Samba mailing lists and discussion of Samba predominates
the discussion on the news:comp.protocols.smb newsgroup. If you
have a connection to a good NNTP server you can post your questions
to a forum where hundreds of Samba users and specialists can see it.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Also, no tech support suggestions for Samba would be complete if
we didn't point you to the Samba DIAGNOSIS guide. You can see that
at: <A HREF="http://WWW.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html"
>http://WWW.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html</A> (where WWW can
be www or the names of one of the many samba mirrors).
