Problems with NT logons, Samba as PDC

[Kimmo Akkanen]

Hi!

We're using Samba as PDC, and recently had a strange crash on the
system (none of the NT-machines authenticated anymore). I re-created
the user database and passwords on the server (TurboLinux 2.2.14-5,
with Samba 2.0.6 & 2.1alpha for auth.) and also re-newed the profiles
making 'em local on the NT-workstations.

Sometimes when the NT-PC gets rebooted, I can't authenticate it back
to the domain until I logon as admin and jump off and back on to the
domain. Any ideas? I'll include a few strange rows from Samba's
logfiles below, all help is appreciated. =)

(did some cut&paste work on the lines, try to follow up)

The SERVERX is replaced with the name of our server, as is the
DOMAINX with the domain name. Does anyone have a clue what's
the reason for those trust account-errors? They come up on
every NT's logon. :( Still, I'm able to use all shares etc.

What about that "currently not implemented"-thing?

Thanks a lot for anyone who answers! =)
