[Samba] Samba 2.2.3 problem

[m.o.tigchelaar at kpn.com]

Hi Noel,

Thank you for your reply. I did not try creating the machine account
beforehand because with Samba 2.2.2 I don't have to. On Samba 2.2.2
everything works just fine when I do a "smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U
Administrator" -> with "wbinfo -t" I get the "secret is good" message.

When I try the same thing with Samba 2.2.3 I keep getting the "secret is
bad" message. So I guess I will have to try your method of creating the
machine account on the PDC before actually joining the domain... But WHY
does the documented method not work anymore?

Martijn.

Not sure if this will help but I find if you create the machine account on
the PDC first and then do a simple 'smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME' then it seems
to work fine.

Also if it is a Win2000 PDC then make sure the 'allow pre-2000 machines to
use this account' box is ticked.

Hi,

Today i upgraded to samba 2.2.3 (from samba 2.2.2). I am using the winbind
daemon as i did before. The problem is i can NOT rejoin the NT domain... I
did delete the machine account on the PDC and i did a smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r
PDC -U administrator. But when i do a "wbinfo -t" i keep getting "secret is
bad"... What is this SHIT?

Thanks,

Martijn.
