Problems with samba as PDC

[Mark Szlaga]

Greetings,
   Well I think the title pretty much sums it up...  But here goes

Short problem: Logins work, wins works, browsing works, accessing shares
fails.

Long problem: After the machine is logged on, I cannot seem to access any
shares on the server.  Samba is configured to be a primary domain
controller as far as I can tell.  The one and only thing that puzzles me is
the fact that I keep getting the following messages about every 15-30
seconds:

[1999/11/18 11:39:37, 0] passdb/smbpassfile.c:trust_password_lock(119)
  trust_password_lock: cannot open file /etc/TROY_CCT.SLIMJIM.mac - Error
was No
 such file or directory.
[1999/11/18 11:39:37, 0] passdb/smbpassfile.c:trust_get_passwd(288)
  domain_client_validate: unable to open the machine account password file
for m
achine SLIMJIM in domain TROY_CCT.

Everything I have read tells me to do the command "smbpassword -j TROY_CCT"
but that results in:

modify_trust_password: Machine SLIMJIM is one of our addresses. Cannot add
to ourselves.
1999/11/18 12:23:42 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change
password for domain TROY_CCT.
Unable to join domain TROY_CCT.       

So... I'm pretty much stumped here... included is the smb.conf file for the
server.  If there is anything more that is needed just let me know.
