Problems logging onto domain

Hello,

Samba System:  	SUN Ultra E450, 64bit kernel Solaris 2.7.
Client:		IBM PC 315 NT 4 SP 4

Samba version:  TNG cvs  Mon Mar 20 10:54:50 GMT 2000.

Configure:    	./configure --prefix=/opt/samba-TNG

I performed a make clean then a configure then a make and make install.

There are a number of warnings about discarding consts and initialisations
from incompatible pointer types. If any wants these, let me know.

removed /opt/samba-TNG/var.

Remembered that in Solaris there is a group root as well as the user root,
so I changed the group to roots.

[ASIDE: I think that samba should just ignore groups that have the same
names as users. If Windows clients never get to see that group name, how
can they ask for it in file creation etc?]

Started samba-TNG. The smb.conf file is attached.

I didn't destroy the smbpasswd file. I don't see the point of doing that.
I removed the line for the test workstation tompc$.

I then used ./rpcclient -S . -U root -l log2
createuser tompc$

At this point I checked smbpasswd. It had a line for tompc$ with a password.
What was used to set this password?

Last week, Elrond advised me to use samuserset to set the password. This
did not and still doesn't work. I posted the log fragments last week.

I went to the workstation and joined the domain without using the 
create account in the domain option. I got the Welcome to the EE domain
message.

Rebooted the workstation and attempted to log in with my own username
and password:

I got the message that the workstation account in the primary domain
was missing or the password for that account is incorrect.

I then went to an installation of samba-HEAD and typed:

smbpasswd -a -m tompc$

I took the generated password line from the smbpasswd file on HEAD and
put it into TNG. I could then log in on the workstation to the domain.

I used createuser 4 times and produced the following:

This one had samuserset tompc4 -p tompc run on it:
tompc$:10001:3CEB72EFC7BA260DD3B579EBF037195B:3CEB72EFC7BA260DD3B579EBF037195B:[
W          ]:LCT-38D60325:

This is just createuser tompc$ as are the other two.

tompc$:10001:B5E9AE956655F2C14EE017ACD5323C00:389A51F846E3CAB78088EBC4C1521AA5:[
W          ]:LCT-38D60CC8:
tompc$:10001:129ABF57F88D8049DD8164B911805A48:F3E9D54BE12A0FD4446B5713CE578FCD:[
W          ]:LCT-38D60D04:
tompc$:10001:3278B848D9E06877B3E2B226F8B6E60F:644FD1B0D244918A7ECB28FA01470CAE:[
W          ]:LCT-38D60D49:

The working one doesn't look anything like these. For obvious reasons I'd
prefer only to post the working password to someone who wants to fix the  
code. 

Log files at level 100 are available on the web. If you email me I'll tell
you where.

Tom.
