If you want SAMBA to act as a PDC for a domain in which Windows 2000
machines will take part, you have to be running v2.2.1a+ or Samba-TNG. If
you are just doing a simple workgroup then you can use 2.0.7, if you are
going to have anything besides 2000/NT4 machines authenticating you have to
be using plain-text passwords. For the most part the Samba HOWTO's are all
done quite well, you can find them and the FAQs (very helpful as well) on
www.samba.org
We are running Samba-TNG with LDAP as the back-end and with windows 2000
clients joined to the samba PDC. There were a few ritualistic sacrifices
and fits of spastic voodoo spell casting involved to get it working. But it
does work. :)

Subject: samba prob
Hi,
I have installed samba 2.0.7-36 on a RH 7.1 machine. And I have a Solaris
8 machine, and a Windows 2000 server machine as well.
I am first trying to get the w2k box and samba to interact, but i am having
a lot of difficulty and am not sure why.
i was wondering if anyone could tell me whether they have successfully set
up a basic samba configuration with w2k, and if so whether they had to do
anything special to get it to work?
for instance, did you find that a certain service pack would not work? did
you find that encrypted passwords/plain text passwords would not work? were
any special adjustments necessary to the smb.conf file? if you got your
configuration to work without any special hassle, that would be useful
information to me as well? thanks so much,
eric
by the way, maybe i could include my error log if anyone wants to take a
look?
