Readding Machine to the Domain

[Andreas Nemeth]

I'm using Samba 2.0.5a (SuSE Distrib.)

I just added "reboot" to make clear I restarted everything. (I know that linux doesn't have to reboot every five minutes or so!)

I don't think the problem is adding a $ or not, for I use smbpasswd -a -m MACHINENAME$ for other computers too and didn't encountered trouble. 

I think --like described in one man page-- that changing the UID of the trust account can cause trouble with the RIDs, therefor I'm now searching for the SIDs and RIDs on my system (help needed!)

What version of Samba are you using? I too am having trouble adding a NT
workstation to my Samba-controlled domain. The two problems are probably
completely different, and I can get Samba 2.0.6 machines to join, just not
NTWS. It's most likely just my NT workstation that is having trouble (Anyone
else having trouble adding NT to domains in the current CVS?). I am using
the latest HEAD branch in CVS, TNG is too broken to touch right now :). I
believe you should use smbpasswd -a -m CAMP, not the $. What error messages
are you seeing? There is no need to reboot the PDC. At most would might need
to stop and restart smbd and nmbd.

> Hi,
> I have a small network of NT WS with a Linux box acting as PDC. I removed
one of them to change it against another... Well it doesn't work! I have
deleted all lines in /etc/passwd; /etc/smbpasswd containing info 'bout this
computer. (rebooted) Added the user in /etc/passwd; made a smbpasswd -a -m
CAMP$ but it didn't and doesn't work!
