[Samba] Samba - Winbind problem : session setup failed : System error

[Bart Boelaert]

Hello,

I'm using Samba 2.2.7a on RedHat 9.0. I'm trying to set-up universal logons
between a Samba Server and a W2K SP3 DC, which has restrictanonymous=1.
I followed the procedure as described at
http://ftp.easynet.be/samba/docs/man/winbind.html
- I managed to join the Samba server (MYSAMBASRV) to the domain (MYDOMAIN)
- I used wbinfo with the -A switch to store the credentials of a Domain
Admin user account, so that a list of all shares could be retrieved from the
domain controller (MYDC)
- I successfully retrieved a list of all W2K users and groups (using getent
passwd / getent group)
- I configured the necessary Winbind options in smb.conf + the PAM config
files
- I started Winbind after smbd & nmbd

When I try to access the Samba server from a W2K client (MYW2KCLIENT) using
\\MYSAMBASRV, a login screen pops up. When this happens, I get the following
log entries in myw2kclient.log (I started smbd & nmbd using -d 9 for
detailed logs):

Apparently, there's something wrong with the PAM session, but I really don't
know where to look.

Any help will be appreciated.

Bart.
