[Samba-TNG] Diagnosis steps fail (repost)

[Jamie ffolliott]

Hi.. I'm reposting this again because I couldn't receive any mail from the
samba lists at my other address.  Sorry, if anyone had responded to the
list, please do again ;)

I'm testing out the Samba PDC code (from CVS Feb 13 on Redhat
6.x) and hoping to update a server running some older Samba-2.1prealpha
code from last March (which has been running very reliably, except for the
occasional roaming profile problem).

I ran into some 'connection refused' errors on with
smbpasswd -j SAMBA to join the domain (following the TNG faq), so I
investigated my setup a bit more.  Went through the DIAGNOSIS.txt steps
and testparm, and found that steps four to six are broken (all the others,
1-3 and 7 work fine). Nothing seems to be wrong in my smb.conf, and I've
checked that all the diagnosis steps work with samba-2.0.6 but not with
TNG on this machine (using the same smb.conf without PDC features
enabled).

Essentially all connections to /tmp/.nmb/agent (nmbd socket?) fail.

I figure I should wait to see these few tests working before
reporting too much else on TNG.

Output on those tests and my smb.conf is pasted below.

Can anyone tell me what might be wrong, or explain what the effect is
of these errors?  Let me know if I can send you more debug info, but I'm
sure these are easily reproducable.

Diagnosis steps:
step 4: nmblookup -B DEGOBAH __SAMBA__
doing parameter timestamp logs = false
pm_process() returned Yes
lp_servicenumber: couldn't find homes
Added interface ip=192.168.69.2 bcast=192.168.69.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Sending queries to 192.168.69.2
socket open succeeded.  file name: /tmp/.nmb/agent
socket connect to /tmp/.nmb/agent failed: Connection refused
name_query failed to find name __SAMBA__

step 5: nmblookup -B jason '*'
doing parameter timestamp logs = false
pm_process() returned Yes
lp_servicenumber: couldn't find homes
Added interface ip=192.168.69.2 bcast=192.168.69.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Sending queries to 192.168.69.3
socket open succeeded.  file name: /tmp/.nmb/agent
socket connect to /tmp/.nmb/agent failed: Connection refused
name_query failed to find name *

step 6: nmblookup -d 2 '*'
doing parameter timestamp logs = false
pm_process() returned Yes
lp_servicenumber: couldn't find homes
Added interface ip=192.168.69.2 bcast=192.168.69.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Sending queries to 192.168.69.255
socket open succeeded.  file name: /tmp/.nmb/agent
socket connect to /tmp/.nmb/agent failed: Connection refused
name_query failed to find name *
