Just some tips: samba asks the password you have created with the command "smbpasswd -a". Independent of /etc/password file. Are you sure you are creating passwords to the right file? Are you sure you are not using the unix passwd? As I see, this is your domain master, as a NT Primary Domain Controller or PDC. There must not be other primary domain controllers on your Net, specifically windows, I read that somewhere. try unplugging them from your net. For a client which is not onto the domain, Samba will ask for password each new client session. But just once. For joining PCS to the domain, I used the root smb account, as I read, and disable the root account. Worked fine. Did you join your clients to smb's domain? > > In the log files there is one for each machine but they are all empty. > In the smb.log then NMB.log is a littel diffrent it keeps saying > [root@apollo samba]# tail nmbd.log > ***** > > Samba name server APOLLO is now a local master browser for workgroup > MYGROUP on subnet 192.168.11.200 I see MYGROUP, not WORKGROUP, as below...

Did you changed it? Try updating your files database (updatedb) and locating config file (locate smb.conf). Maybe there are some other places samba searches for that file, and you have a misconfigured file placed there. > I have checked my smb config with testpram and it works fine the server > starts and is running.
