I am having problems adding users with smbpasswd.  I have downloaded the
latest cvs sources, today.  I am using RedHat 6.1, kernel 2.2.12.  I am
trying to use the PDC support in Samba for a small NT domain with Windows
2000, build 2128 workstations.

The error I get when executing smbpasswd -a <username>, is:

Domain password server not available.
Can't setup password database vectors.

The following is my smb.conf file:

[global]
    workgroup = CHEESE
    server string = Cheese Samba Server
;    hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
    printcap name = /etc/printcap
    load printers = yes
;    printing = bsd
;    guest account = pcguest
    log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
    max log size = 50
    security = user
;    password server = <NT-Server-Name>
    password level = 0
    encrypt passwords = yes
    smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
    unix password sync = yes
    passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
;    username map = /etc/smbusers
;    include = /etc/smb.conf.%m
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
;    interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
;    remote browse sync = 192.168.3.25 192.168.5.255
;    remote announce = 192.168.1.255 192.168.2.44
;    local master = no
    os level = 30
    domain master = yes
    preferred master = no
;    domain controller = <NT-Domain-Controller-SMBName>
    domain logons = yes
    logon script = login.bat
    logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
;    name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
    wins support = yes
;    wins server = w.x.y.z
;    wins proxy = yes
    dns proxy = no
    map to guest = never
    null passwords = no
    dead time = 0
;    preserve case = no
;    short preserve case = no
;    default case = lower
;    case sensitive = no

[homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    browseable = no
    writable = yes
    public = no
    only user = no

# Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain
Logons
[netlogon]
    comment = Network Logon Service
    path = /home/netlogon
    guest ok = yes
    writable = no
    share modes = no

# Un-comment the following to provide a specific roving profile share
# the default is to use the user's home directory
[Profiles]
    path = /home/profiles
    browseable = no
    public = yes
    guest only = no
    writable = no
    only user = no
    create mode = 744
    directory mode = 755

# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    path = /var/spool/samba
    browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
    public = no
    writable = no
    printable = yes

This smb.conf file works perfectly well with Samba 2.0.6, in which I am able
to add users with smbpasswd.  Any help would be appreciated.
