Thank  you for your info RequestedDeletion. I installed Samba 2.2.3a as per Darreyl howto,  and added an account to PDC, then updated the Client smb.conf through custom template and  lastly issued command to join the domain. I got message saying Welcome to  the domain. When I login as an admin on Windoze I could see and browse the both fileserver and PDC folders, but when I login as new user who was set up only on PDC, and tried browse the folder on SME fileserver  I was prompted with username and password.

My question is? Is there Howto add SME Client to SME PDC or could someone make one for those of us who are linux challenged something like Darreyl HOwTO for Adding and removing W2K and XP.

This is what I did:

Client Side (SME Server):
1.edit  smb.conf on custom template
adding;
workgroup = Domainname
security = domain
password server = PDC_name or *--
encrypt passwords = Yes
         
expanded the template

2. join the domain

#smbpasswd -j domain_name -r PDC_name

smbpasswd: Unable to join the domain

 error;      NT_Status_No_Trust

3.Then I added an account Machine On the PDC
#useradd -g -d /dev/null -s /bin/False machine_name$
#smbpasswd -a -m machine_name

PDC Machine;

#smbpasswd -j domain_name -r PDC_name

I got message
#smbpasswd:Joined domain name

But still I was unable to browse the folder on SME Client machine without having User account set on both servers.

I help will be highly appreciated, I got 3 Servers and 50 users. Please forgive me I am clear, english is my second language.


Thx
