[Samba] Getting netbios alias to work

[Tommy.Fallsen at kongsberg.com]

Hi

Need to setup netbios alias on a server. When users connect to sunone they
reach home and some other shares. suntwo is a archive share.
I can't authenticate against the pdc on sunone and suntwo. Ask for user/passwd 
on each netbios alias. Connecting to sun10 works. If i switch to shared on security
and guest ok this setup works. When connecting to the aliases i get:
  startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /opt/samba/private/smbpasswd. Error was No such file or directory

I can connect to the netbios aliases if i create smbpasswd and add my user to it. But i want to use the pdc for auth.

Is it possible to get this type of setup to work?

Test Case:

Sunone
 /export/free/tmp

Suntwo
 /export/free/tmp2

Config:
[global]
        workgroup = NET2
        security = DOMAIN
	  netbios name = sun10
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        password server = kbg-dc-01
        log level = 3
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        wins proxy = Yes
        wins server = *.*.*.*
        remote announce = *.*.*.*
        netbios aliases = sunone suntwo
        include = /opt/samba/lib/smb.%L

smb.sunone config:

        netbios name = sunone
[tmp]
        comment = tmp
        path = /export/free/tmp
        read only = No

smb.suntwo config:
	netbios name = suntwo
[tmp2]
        comment = tmp2
        path = /export/free/tmp2
        read only = No

Thanks
