[Samba] Domain member server starts logging "change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password for domain" after one week

[Hansjoerg Maurer]

Hi,

I am running a Samba printserver (2.2.7a).
I have successfully joined the domain with
smbpasswd -j NTROBOTIC -r robpdc2 -UAdmin%
Eactly one week after joining the domain , the samba server starts 
logging: (prining still works)

[2003/02/27 13:05:04, 2] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_out(874)
  error connecting to 129.247.189.234:445 (Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt)

  2003/02/27 13:05:04 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change 
password for domain NTROBOTIC.

What is the problem?
Do i have to take care of a case sensitive wirting of the DOMAIN name?
A part of smb.conf follows...

Thank you very much

Greetings

Hansjörg
