Why use domains? The answer probably isn't obvious until you look behind the scenes, especially with Windows 95/98.</p><P CLASS="para"> +Recall that with traditional workgroups, Windows 95/98 simply accepts each username and password that you enter when logging on to the system. There are no unauthorized users with Windows 95/98; if a new user logs on, the operating system simply asks for a new password and authenticates the user against that password from then on. The only time that Windows 95/98 attempts to use the password you entered is when connecting to another share.</p><P CLASS="para">Domain logons, on the other hand, are similar to Unix systems. In order to log on to the domain, a valid username and password must be presented at startup, which is then authenticated against the primary domain controller's password database. If the password is invalid, the user is immediately notified and they cannot log on to the domain.</p><P CLASS="para"> +There's more good news: once you have successfully logged on to the domain, you can access any of the shares in the domain to which you have rights without having to reauthenticate yourself. More precisely, the primary domain controller returns a token to the client machine that allows it to access any share without consulting the PDC again. Although you probably won't notice the shift, this can be beneficial in cutting down network traffic. (You can disable this behavior if you wish by using the <CODE CLASS="literal"> +revalidate</code> option.)</p><DIV CLASS="sect2"> +<H3 CLASS="sect2"> +<A CLASS="title" NAME="ch06-36822"> +6.5.1 Configuring Samba for Windows Domain Logons</a></h3><P CLASS="para"> +If you wish to allow Samba to act as a domain controller, use the following sections to configure Samba and your clients to allow domain access. </p><P CLASS="para"> +If you would like more information on how to set up domains, see the <I CLASS="filename"> +DOMAINS.TXT</i> file that comes with the Samba distribution.</p><DIV CLASS="sect3"> +<H4 CLASS="sect3"> +<A CLASS="title" NAME="ch06-pgfId-962093"> +6.5.1.1 Windows 95/98 clients</a></h4><P CLASS="para">Setting up Samba as a PDC for Windows 95/98 clients is somewhat anticlimactic.

However, you must also ensure that Samba is using encrypted passwords. In other words, alter the <CODE CLASS="literal"> +[global]</code> options the previous example to include the <CODE CLASS="literal"> +encrypted</code> <CODE CLASS="literal"> +passwords</code> <CODE CLASS="literal"> +=</code> <CODE CLASS="literal"> +yes</code> option, as shown here: </p><PRE CLASS="programlisting"> +[global] + workgroup = SIMPLE + encrypted passwords = yes + domain logons = yes + + security = user </pre></div><DIV CLASS="sect3"> +<H4 CLASS="sect3"> +<A CLASS="title" NAME="ch06-pgfId-961829"> +6.5.1.3 Creating trust accounts for NT clients</a></h4><P CLASS="para"> +This step is exclusively for Windows NT clients. All NT clients that connect to a primary domain controller make use of <I CLASS="firstterm"> +trust accounts</i>. These accounts allow a machine to log in to the PDC itself (not one of its shares), which means that the PDC can trust any further connections from users on that client. For all intents and purposes, a trust account is identical to a user account. In fact, we will be using standard Unix user accounts to emulate trust accounts for the Samba server.</p><P CLASS="para"> +The login name of a machine's trust account is the name of the machine with a dollar sign appended to it. For example, if our Windows NT machine is named <CODE CLASS="literal"> +chimaera</code>, the login account would be <CODE CLASS="literal"> +chimaera$</code>. The initial password of the account is simply the name of the machine in lowercase letters. In order to forge the trust account on the Samba server, you need to create a Unix account with the appropriate machine name, as well as an encrypted password entry in the <I CLASS="filename"> +smbpasswd</i> database.</p><P CLASS="para"> +Let's tackle the first part. Here, we only need to modify the <I CLASS="filename"> +/etc/passwd</i> file to support the trust account; there is no need to create a home directory or assign a shell to the "user" because the only part we are interested in is whether a login is permitted. Therefore, we can create a "dummy" account with the following entry:</p><PRE CLASS="programlisting"> +chimaera$:*:1000:900:Trust Account:/dev/null:/dev/null</pre><P CLASS="para"> +Note that we have also disabled the password field by placing a <CODE CLASS="literal"> +*</code> in it. This is because Samba will use the <I CLASS="filename"> +smbpasswd</i> file to contain the password instead, and we don't want anyone to telnet into the machine using that account. In fact, the only value other than the account name that is used here is the UID of the account for the encrypted password database (1000). This number must map to a unique resource ID on the NT server and cannot conflict with any other resource IDs. Hence, no NT user or group should map to this number or a networking error will occur.</p><P CLASS="para"> +Next, add the encrypted password using the <I CLASS="filename"> +smbpasswd</i> command, as follows: </p><PRE CLASS="programlisting"># <CODE CLASS="userinput"><B>smbpasswd -a -m chimaera</b></code> +Added user chimaera$ +Password changed for user chimaera$</pre><P CLASS="para"> +The <CODE CLASS="literal"> +-m</code> option specifies that a machine trust account is being generated. The <I CLASS="filename"> +smbpasswd</i> program will automatically set the initial encrypted password as the NetBIOS name of the machine in lowercase letters; you don't need to enter it. When specifying this option on the command line, do not put a dollar sign after the machine name - it will be appended automatically. Once the encrypted password has been added, Samba is ready to handle domain logins from a NT client.</p></div></div><DIV CLASS="sect2"> +<H3 CLASS="sect2"> +<A CLASS="title" NAME="ch06-pgfId-961709"> +6.5.2 Configuring Windows Clients for Domain Logons</a></h3><P CLASS="para"> +Once you have Samba configured for domain logons, you need to set up your Windows clients to log on to the domain at startup.</p><DIV CLASS="sect3"> +<H4 CLASS="sect3"> +<A CLASS="title" NAME="ch06-pgfId-962166"> +6.5.2.1 Windows 95/98</a></h4><P CLASS="para">With Windows 95/98, this can be done by raising the Network configuration dialog in the Windows Control Panel and selecting the Properties for "Client for Microsoft Networks."
