Hi,

I've setup samba 2.2.7 to be a primary domain controller. i've added two windows XP clients to it and all is working ok. I added the machine and user accounts using smbpasswd -a . Here's my question :

I keep getting the error "cannot open passdb" when i use the smbpasswd command to add users or machines. I've just done a straight ./configure, make, make install. No extra commands. I'm just wondering whats going on.

Secondly, i've heard that if you place a logon.bat in your [netlogon] share that you cam pre map network drives for users by doing somthing like "net use e: \\RHbox\share". I've tried this and nothing happened when i logged in??? Whats gone wrong?

Thanks.

Ade
