[Samba] weird problem joining a domain (pdc)

[Aleix Conchillo]

hi all,

i configured a Samba PDC 6 months ago, everything was ok, and users
could join the domain without problem.

but now i have a problem joining the domain. i get this error:

[2002/06/04 18:31:15, 0] rpc_server/srv_samr.c:api_samr_set_userinfo(670)
  api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_USERINFO.
[2002/06/04 18:31:15, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwrid(1416)
  unable to open passdb database.

but accessing to  any resources in the domain  browsing them through the
network works fine, is just a joining to domain problem. file
permissions seem to be ok.

my box is a Debian GNU/Linux - Samba 2.2.4. Samba 2.2.3 did the same.

my smb.conf is at the bottom of the email.

any ideas of what could happen? thanks in advance.

best regards,


aleix
