Hi Justin,
That is very weird. Based on your smb.conf, I can't see how this could
happen.
Some things to look at:
1. is the netbios name (since you don't have it explicitly defined in
smb.conf, it should use your unix host name) of the samba server
possibly conflicting with the pdc or bdc name or domainname?
2. do testparm from the same directory that you are starting the nmbd and
smbd, and verify that the output matches what you have in
your smb.conf file - maybe it is picking up old def's from a different
smb.conf?
3. You mention that you DON'T remove the MACHINE.SID file before joining the
new domain; have you tried renaming this file so samba
can't find it, and then joining the domain again? Maybe compare the
renamed MACHINE.SID with the new one created when you join
the domain....
Assuming none of this highlights what the problem is, next best step is to
set debug=10, and rejoin the domain so we can see what
smbpasswd says, as well as the log.smbd and log.nmbd....
Hope this helps,
Don

Hi,
I do not want this server to be a PDC or a BDC i just want to serve shares!
I submitted a question earlier today regarding samba taking over my domain (
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-January/063813.html
<http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-January/063813.html> ). When
you have joined a domain a file is created in
/usr/local/samba/private/MACHINE.SID with you security identification for
that domain.
When you switch domains without deleting this file and then attempt to join
the computer to a second domain what would cause the samba server to confuse
the PDC and BDC?? See
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q250263
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q250263> (note the
link is flaky you might have to refresh the page 4 or 5 time before it comes
up) for and exact situation that we have. Here is my smb.conf file. I am not
sure if this is causing the issue but it is possible?
Also should i be adding "local master = no" to the [global] section.
<snip>
[global]
encrypt passwords = yes
winbind separator = +
winbind cache time = 10
template shell = /bin/bash
template homedir = /home/%D/%U
winbind uid = 10000-20000
winbind gid = 10000-20000
#winbind unum users = yes
#winbind unum groups = yes
workgroup = winserver
security = domain
password server = altec lansing
domain master = no
preferred master = no
domain logons = no
log file = /var/log/samba.log
log level = 3
[tmp]
comment = tmp file location
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = no
</snip>
Thanks
