[CentOS] Re: Samba setup for CentOS-4.4 workstations

[James B. Byrne]

I altered the /etc/samba/smb.conf file to use '_' as the winbind separator
character and asigned BROCKLEY_ADMINISTRATOR to the admin users:

--->
   winbind separator = _
   admin users = BROCKLEY_ADMINISTRATOR
<---

After a restart of the smb service (#service smb restart) I get this:

--->

# smbclient -L BRDC-01
Password: <cr>
Domain=[BROCKLEY] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

mount: bad UUID

<---

So, a bad UUID tells me that I am not getting a UUID from the PDC and that
the one being provided by the smbclient is meaningless.  So, how do I
obtain an appropriate UUID/GUID assigned to look at these shares?
