[Samba] Finding Accounts inside Trusted Domains

[Michael Gasch]

hi,

if the trust has correctly been set up this should work. your 
workstation will contact your DC supplying the creds you gave it 
(MATH\user incl. pw). the DC will then forward this to its trusted DC 
(MATH DC). this should reply with "OK" and your DC should allow login.

are you running winbindd on both DCs?
