[Michael Steffens]

Hi Jeremy,

thanks, that was both good and bad news! Good is obvious, but...

... then the error must be somewhere else. On connection attempts to
the samba server I got

  [2001/10/16 10:19:04, 0] rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:(160)
    cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
  [2001/10/16 10:19:04, 0] rpc_client/cli_login.c:(72)
    cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
  [2001/10/16 10:19:04, 0] smbd/password.c:(1371)
    connect_to_domain_password_server: unable to setup the PDC credentials
    to machine BBNAPPDC. Error was : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.

I thought that this could be explained by a corrupted secrets.tdb.
But the reason seems to be different. I tried the following twice,
and it seems to be reproducible. When the machine account has been
created with

  /opt/samba/bin/smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U username

success is reported, and the Samba box really pops up in NT server
manager. But then the above error occurs. When it's done the "classic"
way by creating the account via server manager and joining with

  /opt/samba/bin/smbpasswd -j DOMAIN

everything is ok!

Hopefully this isn't old news :)
However, it's not too critical for me, can stick with the old way.

Thanks!
Michael
