Misc: NT 4.0 with whatever patches is the PDC and BDC
	Solaris 2.8 with Samba 2.0.7 (fresh compile)

Steps followed:
1) Installed Samba on the Solaris box.
2) Added the name of the Samba box (USADURANGO) to the NT domain (USAMCR1).
3) Added the names for the PDC and BDC to the lmhosts file.
4) Added the PDC and BDC to the smb.conf file under "password server"
setting.
5) Defined the WINS server
6) Set the NETBIOS name (USADURANGO).
7) Tried to run: smbpasswd -j USAMCR1
8) Received the following:
  cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT
  cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
  modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine
USAMCDC1.
  Error was : NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT.
  cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT
  cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
  modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine
USAMCDC2.
  Error was : NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT.
  2000/09/22 14:00:55 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change
password for domain USAMCR1.
  Unable to join domain USAMCR1.

As per the directions to do this, it should have worked.  Besides changing
the IP addresses, here is my current smb.conf:

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = workgroup
	netbios name = USADURANGO
	server string = 
	interfaces = hme0
#	security = domain
#	encrypt passwords = Yes
	password server = usamcdc1 usamcdc2
	os level = 0
	local master = No
	wins server = w.x.y.z

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	path = /u/%u
	writeable = Yes
	hosts allow = w.*.*.*

Thanks for the help in advance....
