Good Morning Everyone: I am hitting a bit of a problem with samba here: I have set up my Fedora Core 3 server with samba as per: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-June/106701.html Modifying the config files to fit my situation Smb.conf [global] workgroup = MCASCHOOL realm = MCASCHOOL.NET security = ADS password server = srvdc01.mcaschool.net log file = /usr/local/samba/var/%m.log preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No wins server = 192.168.0.2 idmap uid = 10000-40000 idmap gid = 10000-40000 # winbind use default domain = Yes winbind enum users = Yes winbind enum groups = Yes winbind nested groups = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY socket options = SO_RCVBUF=8192 [webroot] comment = Websites Home Directory writeable = yes path = /var/www/html [ftp] comment = FTP Home Directory path = /var/ftp/pub/ read only = No When in Execute the net ads join -U administrator Command and supply the password, I get the following error [2005/07/20 10:57:26, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_join_realm(1640) ads_add_machine_acct (srvweb-01): Type or value exists ads_join_realm: Type or value exists Doing a google search on this error suggested that I try the following command [root@srvweb-01 ~]# smbclient -k //srvdc01/C$ krb5_cc_get_principal failed (No credentials cache found) spnego_gen_negTokenTarg failed: No credentials cache found session setup failed: NT_STATUS_OK it sounds to me like Kerbros is possibly not running or not configured correctly on my windows 2003 domain controller, but I'm not sure. Can someone please help me figure out these messages so that I can make this thing work TIM Timothy A. Holmes IT Manager / Webmaster / Science Teacher Medina Christian Academy A Higher Standard...
