SAMBA (Domaincontroller) Server For Small Workgroups With Ubuntu 5.10

[Dagur]

I put this in /etc/fstab

//192.168.2.200/dagur /home/dagur/server smbfs credentials=/home/dagur/.smbmount-dagur,rw

and .smbmount-dagur contains the lines

username=dagur
password=1234

[till]

Have you tried to use smbmount manually on the commandline and set username and password as commandline parameters?

[Dagur]

yeah, but I got the same result :-/

Also went through the howto (http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10_p4), but at the part when I start the installation of samba with the command:
"apt-get install samba samba-common samba-doc libcupsys2-gnutls10 libkrb53 winbind smbclient" I seem to miss the winbind-packet. Get the response (translated from Swedish):
"Packet winbind is not avaiable, but another packet refers to it. This usually means that the packet is missing, is obsolete or is avaiable from other sorces.
E: Packet winbind has no installationcandidate"

Tried to google for an answer, but didn´t find any, can anyone here help me?
Thanks!

Please check your /etc/apt/sources.list as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10_p3

The universe repository must be enabled. Then run the commands:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

and try to install samba + winbind again.

apt-get install samba samba-common samba-doc libcupsys2-gnutls10 libkrb53 winbind smbclient

Hi, thanks for the great tutorial! I set up everything except cups, and have been able to connect to my ubuntu domain controller using roaming profiles, it's very cool!

I was wondering, is there a way for users to change their own passwords? Or does the administrator have to do that manually?
