this is happening every 30 sec twice, the log files are huge.

This is what is written to a samba log file log.ypsilon that is a "central"
PDC (NT, I have no juristicion over it)
of another domain that obviously wants to establish a trust relationship
with my PDC.

[2001/01/17 11:20:08, 0]
passdb/smbpassfile.c:get_trust_account_password(202)
  get_trust_account_password: Malformed trust password file (wrong length -
was 0, should be 45).

  domain_client_validate: unable to read the machine account password for
machine S_KURESSAARE in domain KURESSAARE.

Trust is what we actually need here but we manage without it ... everything
works but I gotta do smth about the spam in logfile .
The central PDC is Ypsilon and S_Kuressaare is my PDC, what I cant get
exactly is why is samba crying about not having
an account for a local machine in local domain, it'd be understandable if
it'd say smth like:
unable to read the machine account password for machine YPSILON in domain
KURESSAARE...

I did adduser -n -g machines -c Machine -d /dev/null -s /bin/false
S_KURESSAARE$
but that didnt help .. maybe I should restart samba ?  but I'm a bit afraid
to do that as its a remote machine & smbstatus reads
about 50 rows of locked stuff like this:
30615  DENY_NONE  RDWR       EXCLUSIVE+BATCH
/home/smbshares/liiklus/MAKSEMAA.DBF   Wed Jan 17 11:43:32 2001
3254   DENY_NONE  RDWR       NONE
/home/smbshares//andmebaasid/andmed/vara.mdb   Wed Jan 17 10:29:59 2001
3864   DENY_WRITE RDONLY     EXCLUSIVE+BATCH  /hom ...

& thus my second question, can I restart samba with smbstatus like this ?
