If anyone here knows Samba, please help me. Well, here's my dilemma: I've used it to connect my Red Hat Linux 8 and Windows XP. However, on the Linux computer, when I try to make it a PDC, using the smbpasswd -j DOMAIN command, it says that it cannot find the domain controller for domain DOMAIN. here's the file, as best i could remember it, for smb.conf:

[global]
domain master=yes
local master=yes
preferred master=yes
win support=yes
workgroup=DOMAIN
os level=32
announce level=4.0
security=user

[public]
path=/tmp
writeable=yes

A book I have said that I had to join the domain controller to DOMAIN, using the smbpasswd -j DOMAIN command, and supposed to get the message "Joining DOMAIN as PDC" or something like that. But instead, I only get the message above.

On the side note, I can't access SWAT in Mozilla. It says "Connection 127.0.0.1:901 refused". Any ideas on this, or does it have any connection to my above problem?

Can anyone please help me? Also, I'm new to this. Thanks in advance.
