[Samba] trying to set trust throws error

[itdept_head]

This is a little complex…
Since one domain is a rename of the other. (testing rename tool for working out a full procedure)
Renamed an old domain, but want to be able  to access the NAS that are bound to the old domain.
The NAS can only be bound to 1 domain.
Which means there needs to be a trust. From the  new renamed domain to the old domain
so that  the NAS can send the request to the new domain that then routes the request to the old domain.
It’s needed so that the new domain groups can be reconstructed on the NAS & tested, before removal of the old groups


Could this perhaps be due to the SID?

The second “unbound error” I think relates to the fact that early code does not exit correctly on the “failed remote”, which leaves unbound variables.

Both servers can see each other & connection can be made:
