I need to setup a PDC on Samba 3. To achieve this I followed the steps described on the Samba docs and on some other websites I found after googling for a while. From the Samba side everything seems to be OK: Sorry to touch basics but .... Is your record of the form? _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain.com IN SRV 0 100 389 <PDC server>.mydomain.com and port 389 is open on server It was a long time ago I set this up... but I do vaguely remember something anout DOMAIN names, and PDC names needing to map onto DNS server names and z one names, but my memory may be playing tricks :-)
These DNS entries are not required for an NT4 domain, which is what a Samba 3.x PDC hosts/creates. These entries are used [primarily] by an AD (Windows 2003) domain. The absence of these entries will not prevent clients from joining the Samba 3 domain. http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html -- Adam Tauno Williams Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
