SMB 3.0 on RH9

How do I setup SMB3.0 as a Domain Controller? ( I think I have this part...)

Then when I attempt to add a windows machine from its System Properties page. It fails, it says I do not have permission..

I'm kinda new to the world of linux but I'm assuming you are refering to Samba?? This is what i believe you need to do to get up and running. Assuming you have your smb.conf file setup correctly all you need to do is add users.

Step 1

Adduser {USERNAME}

Step 2

smbpasswd -a {USERNAME} (in step 1)

Then you should be set. However you will need to join the domain with a user that has sufficient previleges. I used root.......I believe i just did smbpasswd -a root, then entered a password that was different from the local root account. Note however i was only experiementing with samba and linux, if this is a production Samba server you may not want to use root.

I hope this helps

you need to enter the root name/password to add users to the domain, and I think you may actually have to add that user first to samba with the smbpassward -a root
