I am trying to set up my samba to use a Win NT PDC as my auth server. and I
am running into few problem. I am currently running Rh 5.1 with kernel
2.0.36 and Samba 1.9.18p10. When I am using security = user or share, with
either encryted password or not, everything seem to work fine! When I don't
use encryted password, I update my NT server with the plain clear text
registry fix, everything works. When I do want to use encryted password, I
take out the plain clear text registry entries, and everything work ok too.
However, when I try to set security = server and provide a password server
(the server netbios name is LEIGHANN), I keep getting the following error
(Note: both the Samba server and the NT PDC are in the same subnet/network)
resolve_name: Attempting wins lookup for name <LEIGHANN><0x20>
bind succeeded on port 0
receive_smb error (Connection reset by peer) exiting
Closing connections
1999/03/06 20:50:42 Server exit (normal exit)
resolve_name: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name <LEIGHANN>
resolve_name: Attempting broadcast lookup for name <LEIGHANN><0x20>
bind succeeded on port 0
server_cryptkey: Can't resolve address for <LEIGHANN>
password server not available
After failing in looking for the password server, it switch to using my
local encryted file!
I have check and double check my smb.conf, and everything seem fine!
security = server
# Use password server option only with security = server
password server = <LEIGHANN>
# Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for
# all combinations of upper and lower case.
password level = 1
username level = 1
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
# Unix users can map to different SMB User names
username map = /etc/smbusers
Is there a problem with version 1.9.18 that it will not using NT PDC as the
password server, what am I doing wrong??
