[Samba] smbpasswd broken pipe problem on trying to join domain

[David Pye]

Hi there..

I'm trying to install samba 2.2.5 from source on solaris 2.5 sparc. It
compiles with no problems, and smbd + nmbd will run, and shares are
accessible. However, when I try to use smbpasswd to join the domain the
following occurs:

smbpasswd -D 5 -j simpsons -r krusty -U administrator%myadminpasswordhere  

provides the following debug info:

Broken Pipe



Does anybody have any ideas on the above problem? I joined a linux machine
to the domain with no problems - port 445 on krusty
 is actually closed, and when I look at the debug output on the linux
machine, it fails connecting to 445, and then connects successfully
 to port 139 and joins the domain, but it seems the solaris samba dies of a
broken pipe when the first connection fails, so it never makes a 
second attempt.

Any help or advice would be gratefully received.
