Latest CVS ...

Okay, I downloaded the latest CVS version of SAMBA_TNG monday, and found
several things improved. This is on a Sun Sparc running Solaris 2.7 (32-bit).
1) When attempting to add a new samba server to the domain, the password
entry in the private/smbpasswd file actually shows a change! This is the
first time in months that samba appears to do anything to change the
password for machines joining the domain. Normally they return a message
saying that everything worked, and then we see the following in the logs:
process_logon_packet: Logon from XXX.XXX.XXX.10: code = 0x12
process_logon_packet: Logon from XXX.XXX.XXX.10: code = 0x12
process_logon_packet: Logon from XXX.XXX.XXX.10: code = 0x7
Since this update, I am only seeing a single entry with code = 0x7
2) When comparing the smbpasswd file before and after adding a new NT
Server to the domain, there are no differences. The old behavior (which
used to happen with samba servers as well) still happens (though the server
is apparently able to open a connection according to the status page in SWAT).
3) We attempted to load exchange on a server using samba as the PDC, and it
failed on Monday with a strange error "Windows NT Error <hex number>".
4) All attempts to use User Manager for Domains have met with failure,
either saying something about an invalid parameter or access is denied
(though I am successfully logged in as DOMAIN\administrator).
5) Testing individual accounts using rpcclient succeeds as expected (using
"ntlogin <username> <password>") but administrator now returns a failure.
6) Yesterday we updated against CVS again, and the exchange server
installation failed the first time with the same error message as Monday,
but then worked on a second attempt. User Manager for Domains still does
not even let me into the domain, and administrator is no longer able to
directly access any shares on the PDC (I get prompted for a username and
password). Users CAN access resources on the PDC normally. When adding
users in Exchange, I get a message that the PDC is unavailable, but it
properly displays the accounts from the PDC. Otherwise, stuff appears to
work decent.
7) Today, updated against CVS, and now Exchange will not let anyone in. I
am unable to add users in Exchange (it states that the domain cannot be
contacted). Also, I am unable to login at the NT server's console as any
user other than administrator.
Let me know if you need more detail/logs.
