Samba as a Primary Domain controller

samba pdc:-



workgroup = GEOMAT (your workgroup name)
security = user
password encrypted = true

domain logons = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 64

"os level = 64" line is explained in "man smb.conf". It will effect whether the server wins browsing elections. You can probably leave it as the default.


enable logon path=\\%N\%U\profile

is storing the profile in the user's home directory ,this is Samba's default


logon drive = H;
add machine script = = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c "%u machine account" -d /var/lib/samba -s /bin/false %u

every time a machine , joins a domain the server needs to recognize that computers host name

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes

to enable the default home directory shares. This will share each user's home directory as \\server\username



[netlogon]

comment = Network logon services
path = /home/samba/netlogon
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
share modes = no


create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons (you need to configure Samba to act as a domain controller too.)


[profiles]

comment = users profile
path = /home/samba/profiles
guest ok = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

=========================================================================================



# groupadd -g 201 machines
# mkdir -m 0775 /home/netlogon

mkdir /home/samba /home/samba/profiles
chmod 1757 /home/samba/profiles

smbpasswd -a root
add the samba users

Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to chime in since I am having problems with this as well.

I too am trying to run dbt5 against Postgres. Specifically I am trying to run it against Postgres 9.1beta3. After jumping through many hoops I ultimately was able to build dbt5 on my
debian environment, but when I attempt to run the benchmark with:

dbt5-run-workload -a pgsql -c 5000 -t 5000 -d 60 -u 1 -i ~/dbt5-0.1.0/egen -f 500 -w 300 -n dbt5 -p 5432 -o /tmp/results

it runs to completion but all of the dbt5 log files contain errors like:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'pqxx::broken_connection' what(): could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?


I'm lead to believe that this is an error I would receive if the Postgres db were not running, but it is. In fact, the way dbt5-run-workload works it starts the database automatically. I have also confirmed it is running by manually connecting while this benchmark is in progress (and after it has already started the database and logged the above error). Any thoughts on why I might be getting this error?

Its trying to connect to unix socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432",
but your postgresql.conf file probably has:
unix_socket_directory = '/tmp'


Change it to:
unix_socket_directory = '/var/run/postgresql'

and restart PG.
