[Samba] RE: Samba and Winbind & "Secret is bad"

[Sarris, Chris]

Juri,
No problem... I will help IF I can.... 

when I ran the "wbinfo -t" I also got "Secret is Bad" until I realized that
the documentation that came with winbind from the Samba site ASSUMED that I
would set my smb.conf up with these parameters:

security = domain
password server = *


Once I enabled domain security and "*" to broadcast for a NT BDC or PDC to
authenticate to... I could do a wbinfo -t and "secret is good" came back....
that might be helpful to you... if not sent me your smb.conf and I will take
a quick look.... if you do please tell me what enviroment you are working in
and your client.... but I probably won't be able to tell you any more than
the Winbind HOW TO from the Samba site.... do you have that doc?
Chris

I will also post our email to the samba email list so anyone else can get
help from this conversation.

Hi Chris,

*************************************************************************
Herb,
thanks for all your help... I have winbind up and running wonderfully.
I can log in with KDE and the Win2000 domain user!
I am very impressed with Samba & Winbind.
My boss will love this. I makes Linux a REAL client in a Win2000 Corporate
enviroment!
thanks tons,
Chris

First of all congrats on succesfully implementing Winbind to w2k enviroment.

Second is how on earth You managed to do it?!? I have been fighting (!) with
winbind for a week now and ready to give up and admit defeat. I would
greatly
appreciate Your help and tips on this one. Posting to the samba list didn´t
seem to give any real answers.

Main problem is that wbinfo -t, gives secret is bad announcement. wbinfo
with -u
or -g doesn´t work either.

I have been running winbind with Winbidd -i -d5 and got some real weird
output.

I can send it and my smb.conf to You if You are able to help.

Thanks at advance and cheers from Helsinki Finland,
