Hi folks,

today I tried to switch from a samba 2.2.2 PDC to a samba 2.2.7 PDC. 
Everything semed to be working fine with smbclient.

Windows user couldn't log on, but with following differences:

* users belonging to the domain admin group could log on from Win2k boxes
* normal users couldn't log on from win2k boxes, with the usual "check if you     
   didn't mis-type username/pass" error
* users belonging to the domain admin group couldn't log on from NT4.0 boxes
* normal users couldn't log on from NT4.0 boxes.

The last two tries gave a cryptic error message, just telling that logging on 
didn't succed and a hint to bug you sysop. (I'm not giving the exact text, 
it's a german system with german errors anyway)

The log.smbd file has the following lines:

[2003/03/05 14:09:44, 0] smbd/server.c:main(707)
  smbd version 2.2.7 started.

  Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)

To prepare the switch, I copied over /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow, the 
smbpasswd file, smb.conf and I got the MACHINE.SID with smbpasswd -S

Anybody with any idea what I missed?

Cheers, Kai Blin
