smbpasswd in samba 2.1 alpha

[Steve Litt]

I discovered this, which may give somebody else an idea.

Symptom is 

Domain password server not available.
Can't setup password database vectors.   

If you put

password server=<workgroupname>


The symptom changes and the program hangs. Basically,
get_trusted_serverlist(const char *domain) returns a null pointer to
get_any_dc_name(const char *domain, char *srv_name), which returns false to
domain_client_validate(), which returns false to check_domain_security(),
which returns false to check_domain_security() which returns false to
reply_sesssetup_and_X(), which is used as a callback function in
smb_messages[], the the SMBsesssetupX  record. 

OK, I have to get back to work, but maybe someone else can pick up from
here :-)

Thanks

Steve Litt
