SAMBA DOMAIN CONTROLLER WITH WINBIND SUPPORT

apt-get install samba smbdclient winbind

After installing these packages you have two services running so just stop them for now by running these commands

/etc/init.d/samba stop
/etc/init.d/winbind stop

Both service are stopped now so please clear some temporary files by running these commands:

rm /var/lib/samba/*.tdb
rm /var/run/samba/*.tdb
rm /var/cache/samba/*.tdb

Edit samab configuration file by running following codes

gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Add following to that file

[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN (change it with your domain name)
netbios name = ubuntu (name of domain controller)
logon drive = H:
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
wins support = yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
encrypt passwords = yes
security = user
logon script = logon.cmd if you want to use script for instance map drives etc.

[homes]
comment = Home
path = %H
read only = no
browseable = no

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
public = no
writable = no
create mode = 0700
browseable = no

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = no
write list = root

[netlogon]
path = /netlogon if you using script, it has to be located in this directory
read only = yes
guest ok = yes

That is all we need for a basic but reliable samba setup, you can comment the rest of this file for now and later on umcomment whatever thing/s you want add in configuration. Now start samba and winbind

/etc/init.d/samba start
/etc/init.d/winbind start

Edit host file and replace 127.0.1.1 with IP address of your machine (samba server)

gedit /etc/hosts

Edit nsswitch.conf file

gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf

and find hosts, add files wins in front of hosts and leave the rest as it is
Add root user in samba database by setting its samba password

smbpasswd -a root

Restart samba and winbind

/etc/init.d/samba restart
/etc/init.d/winbind restart

If every thing went well you will be able to test your server so do this

smbclient -L localhost

Enter root's samba password, if every thing went well we will see our new domain Good luck ! Now we have samba running and it is time to add some neccessary groups in samba database so puch these codes in or copy paste

net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup="root" type=domain
net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup="users" type=domain -U root
net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup="nogroup" type=domain -U root

That is it you done now you should be able to join machines to this domain, but you have to add names of all machines you want to join to this domain, in samba database.
useradd xpmachine$

smbpasswd -a -m xpmachine$ xpmachine is the name in of windows workstation, feel free to change it.

Now go to your xp machine and right click on my computer and select computer name then select change and click on domain radio and type your new domain. It will prompt you for samba password so enter root as user ID and root's samba password and hit enter you will see a message like welcome to domain. Restart the machine and try to logon to that domain. you will be able to do that.
To add share(s) in samba domain go to /etc/samba/smb.conf file and added some thing like this:

[sharename]
path = /home/sharename
or whatever the path is browseable = yes
read only = yes/no depanding on you requirements



TFTP & PXE

apt-get install tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa lftp
gedit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa and change "no" to "yes"
/etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa restart will restart tftp server
