- <pre>mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings- mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles</pre>

Each time you want a user to join the domain, a user needs to be added, this can be done through the users tab on the amahi dashboard.<br>aditionally, a profile directory needs to be created.<br>* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/nolJanJacobsnol JanJacobs is the user i created through the users tab of the amahi dashboard.<br>

chown -R nol JanJacobs /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/nolJanJacobsNow, this still doesnt allow us to login, because in samba, machines need to be added too!<br>

* useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null computername$* smbpasswd -a -m computernameNow as you can see there are some differences, when we added the Windows pc to Linux, we added the name computernamecomputer name$, this tells Linux that it is a machine, not a name. <br>Next when we added the Samba password, we invoked the -m, this again tells Samba that we are adding a pc, not a person. <br> Also, you probably noticed that it did not prompt for a password, it just added computername$. <br>When you logon to the domain, Samba will read the password from your Windows password.<br>

this also has to be done for each computer you intend to login with.<br>no we dont add the $ sign, since all we do is adding an existing linux user to the samba password file.<br>we tell samba its a machine simply by adding the -m switch to the command.<br>At this point i have network logins working, using roaming profiles.<br>

* /etc/init.d/smb restart

Now you need to setup your Windows pc for domain logins. <br>(Note the first time that you join a Samba domain from Windows, you will need to join the domain by using root as the name, and your root password for the password. <br>
