[Samba] need help running samba 3.0.11 with security=domain (again)

[Whitaker, Adrian N]

My original post didn't seem to work properly - so I am trying again ...

I am having problems getting security=domain to work properly with Samba
3.0.11  (this seems to be the recommended configuration for the
application which I use - ClearCase)

We are running on a Solaris 10 server. 

We created a machine account for the server and then ran the command to
join the domain :
net rpc join -S domain_controller -U user%pass
Joined domain BP1.

The fact that we got the "joined domain" message looked encouraging.

I thought that this would update /usr/local/samba/private/secrets.tdb -
but the timestamp of this file didn't change. Is this normal ? Maybe it
is because we can now access the samba share from a client PC. However -
it takes too long (around 15 seconds). Occasionally it fails altogether.
If we set "password server" to "*" rather than hard coding a domain
controller then it fails every time with access denied errors.

If we switch to security=server it works OK.

The smb.conf file contains the following

[global]
        workgroup = BP1
        security = DOMAIN
        password server = bp1xeudc042.bp1.ad.bp.com
        username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map
        lm announce = No
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        kernel oplocks = No
        ldap ssl = no
        invalid users = root, bin, daemon, adm, sync, shutdown, halt,
mail, news, uucp
        create mask = 0775
        directory mask = 0775
        case sensitive = No
        oplocks = No
        include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m
        dos filemode = Yes

[export]
        comment = ClearCase VOBs
        path = /export
        read only = No
        level2 oplocks = No


The log file contains the following :

Any help would be appreciated
