WinXP and Win2k on Samba PDC how-to
I just installed Mandrake 81. beta 2 with the newer GNU/Linux kernel. I grabbed the samba-2.2.1a-12mdk.i586.rp
I would like this box to be a Primary Domain Controller for my network of win95/98/ME/2k/XP machines so everyone can log on to one box for authentacation and file services.
Please point me to a WORKING how-to to set this up. I have the win95/98 working just fine for share level, its with Windows 2000 and XP logon that I can't find docs on.

I think I have found a solution:
samba mandrake 8.1 beta 3
cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS
rpm -Uvh samba* xinetd*
vi /etc/samba/samba.conf
# http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#SAMBA-PDC
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start
smbpasswd -a root
#not sure
useradd -d /home/logonname -s /bin -n logonname
smbpasswd -a logonname
#these must match windows logon
on the xpPRo box:
start->control panel->administrative tools->local security policy->Security
Settings->local policies->security options->Domain member:Digitally encrypt
or sign secure channel data (always) -> Change this to disabled
mycomputer->properties->co
use root name/password to join domain
add a user while there
log off and logon to the domain mdkgroup instead of local computer
Since ifincham was the only person to attempt an answer (not authorative, but a good example anywhere) he gets the points.......

the howto was good except for the XP part of the question

Your link does seem to be authoritive, but alas even following it step by step I can't get the logon to domain.
I think it is related to passwd and smbpassword and the password chat script. Probably a permissions thing somewhere along the line too.
Unfortuanly I spent an hour tonight and am still failing.
I spent quite a bit of time reading through other people with similar problems over the last few days, but can't find a coherent how-to that actually works with a win2k service pack 2 machine.....I haven't even got to the xp machine yet.
I'll post some error messages when I get some more time to play with the box this weekend.
Meanwhile.....If anyone has a working setup I'd love to hear from you....
