Don't make this more complicated than it has to be. Forget trust, trust me
instead! :)
Take a simple PC that is NOT a member of a domain, but just in a simple
WORKGROUP. It will not authenticate to a Samba box in server=domain mode
if it is not a member of that domain. The WORKGROUP is just a collection
of PCs out there, not a member of any DOMAIN.
To fix those, I'd have to join those PCs into a DOMAIN that samba
validates to, and that also means purchase of a client-access license and
I'm too cheap to do that if I don't have to.
So I just hacked the code to ignore the DOMAIN/WORKGROUP of the client PC
and it now validates just fine. Works for me. Wow, the wonders of open
source software. Gotta love it! :)
I guess the design goal here is to make Samba as close to an NT server
clone as possible, including duplicating its limitations too?!?!?! ;-)
(Please excuse my cockiness and most likely ignorance...)
