Samba configuration (?)

I'm trying to setup OpenSUSE 11.0 as a PDC on a small test network at home.

So far it's sort of going good I guess. I'm setup SUSE and think I have configure Samba correct, well sort of. Not really what I was after. I wanted SUSE to act as a PDC and have a Windows XP machine be able to join the domain (with SUSE as the PDC).

I am aware that the samba users also have to be system users (that's what I read) on the Linux box. Have turned LDSP Server - ON (Doesn't make a difference though). Turned 'Samba Server' - ON. Below is the smb.conf file (this is just a test/trial run I'm trying here).

Code:

[global]
	workgroup = domain
	printing = cups
	printcap name = cups
	printcap cache time = 750
	cups options = raw
	map to guest = Bad User
	logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
	logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
	logon drive = P:
	usershare allow guests = No
	add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd  -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
	domain logons = Yes
	domain master = Yes
	security = user
	netbios name = test
	local master = Yes
	os level = 65
	preferred master = Yes

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	valid users = %S, %D%w%S
	browseable = Yes
	read only = No
	inherit acls = Yes
[profiles]
	comment = Network Profiles Service
	path = %H
	read only = No
	store dos attributes = Yes
	create mask = 0600
	directory mask = 0700
[users]
	comment = All users
	path = /home
	read only = No
	inherit acls = Yes
	veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/
[groups]
	comment = All groups
	path = /home/groups
	read only = No
	inherit acls = Yes
[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/tmp
	printable = Yes
	create mask = 0600
	browseable = No
[print$]
	comment = Printer Drivers
	path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
	write list = @ntadmin root
	force group = ntadmin
	create mask = 0664
	directory mask = 0775

[netlogon]
	comment = Network Logon Service
	path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
	write list = root

I played around with a few other things but they are back to default settings of turned off now as that didn't seem to make any difference.

From my Windows XP machine (client/workstation) I can't join a domain, but I can join the SUSE box as a WORKGROUP. I can view the shared folders etc which is all good and well.

But I really wanted to setup as a PDC. I've searched google and can't really find any specific documents for setting up Linux (specifically OpenSUSE) for a PDC. I was wondering if anyone can lead/push me in the right direction to some good reading which might be able to help me setup a PDC and not create a workgroup.

Thanks in advanced.

EDIT: When setting up Samba Server I did select Primary PDC in the settings.

vfs_shadow_copy

VFS_SHADOW_COPY(8)					    System Administration tools 					VFS_SHADOW_COPY(8)

NAME

       vfs_shadow_copy - Make a Samba share read only for a specified time period

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = shadow_copy

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The vfs_shadow_copy VFS module functionality that is similar to Microsoft Shadow Copy services. When setup properly, this module allows
       Microsoft Shadow Copy clients to browse "shadow copies" on Samba shares.

       This module is stackable.

CONFIGURATION

       vfs_shadow_copy relies on a filesystem snapshot implementation. Many common filesystems have native support for this.

       Filesystem snapshots must be mounted on specially named directories in order to be recognized by vfs_shadow_copy. The snapshot mount points
       must be immediate children of a the directory being shared.

       The snapshot naming convention is @GMT-YYYY.MM.DD-hh.mm.ss, where:

       o   YYYY is the 4 digit year

       o   MM is the 2 digit month

       o   DD is the 2 digit day

       o   hh is the 2 digit hour

       o   mm is the 2 digit minute

       o   ss is the 2 digit second.

       The vfs_shadow_copy snapshot naming convention can be produced with the following date(1) command:

		TZ=GMT date +@GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S

EXAMPLES

       Add shadow copy support to user home directories:

		   [homes]
		vfs objects = shadow_copy

CAVEATS

       This is not a backup, archival, or version control solution.

       With Samba or Windows servers, vfs_shadow_copy is designed to be an end-user tool only. It does not replace or enhance your backup and
       archival solutions and should in no way be considered as such. Additionally, if you need version control, implement a version control
       system.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
