Sorry for the cross lists post, but my problem seems to involve several areas, and one may be affecting the other. Problem: When logging on with a Windows XP client to the Samba domain I get the error : [2004/08/16 15:38:12, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(218) get_md4pw: Workstation ALDEBURGH$: no account in domain Anyone got any ideas ? Heres what I have got most of the config files and logs, shout if you need anything else. I have completely reinstalled the samba server from scratch - it was a RH9 box with the same problem. I am still using the same LDAP database. The next thing I will do is wipe out LDAP database and start again with the latest populate scripts if know one has an answer. Many thanks, Neil. Software : OS : Fedora Core 2 LDAP : Open Ldap 2.1.29-1 Samba : Samba 3.0.5-2 Samba Tools : smbldap-tools 0.8.5-1.1.fc2 NSS_LDAP : nss_ldap-217-1 I have used the Samba-OpenLdap Howto version 1.6 to setup the LDAP server / ACL / Samba etc. Everything is identical to the Idealx setup, except the the workstation accounts are in the same tree as the normal users (as a previous suggestion and many other emails on newgroups) Also one ACL is changed to let nssldap see the loginShell. I know it's not Sign or Seal - Samba 3 doesn't need this reg hack in place (it is in place anyway from a previous Samba 2 connection) Fedora question - When I configure the system to use ldap with authconfig I can't login it says no such user. The fix for this is to change a line in /etc/pam.d/system-auth to: account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore service_err=ignore \ system_err=ignore authinfo_unavail=ignore] \ /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so I got this from an old Redhat 9 bug - is this still not fixed ? And will it affect the ldap search on the workstation in Samba? Looking at the ldap log the nssldap user is part responsible for the workstation search. (log below) Here are my config files : /etc/pam.d/system-auth auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore service_err=ignore \ system_err=ignore authinfo_unavail=ignore] \ /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so use_authtok password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so session optional /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so /etc/samba/smb.conf : [global] netbios name = BURY log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log load printers = yes socket address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 #LDAP passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://server.adastral.ucl.ac.uk idmap backend = ldap:ldap://server.adastral.ucl.ac.uk passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* ldap delete dn = Yes add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p "%g" add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m "%u" "%g" delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x "%u" "%g" set primary group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g "%g" "%u" delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-userdel "%u" delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupdel "%g" ldap admin dn = cn=samba,dc=adastral,dc=ucl,dc=ac,dc=uk ldap suffix = dc=adastral,dc=ucl,dc=ac,dc=uk ldap group suffix = ou=Group ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap machine suffix = ou=People ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap ssl = start tls ldap passwd sync = yes #LDAP END logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U logon path = \\%L\%U\profile logon script = common.bat obey pam restrictions = yes pam password change = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 domain master = no domain logons = yes encrypt passwords = yes passwd program = /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd %u case sensitive = yes wins support = yes dns proxy = no writeable = yes server string = BDC Samba Server printing = cups #

time reading this email, I've gone grey (what left of my hair) over this one. I know it's probably me, a typo or something, but I just can't find it. To have rebuilt the server from scratch and still have the error would point to the ldap server which I did not rebuild. It was built from the populate scripts and with smbldap how to 1.5. Neil -- Neil Marjoram.
