[Samba] Samba PDC change password issue

[Ron Liu]

Hi there

I had samba PDC (Version 2.2.7a) running on RH 9.0 ( 2.4.20-8 #1). There are
about 50+ win2k PCs and member servers. Everything has been working nicely
for almost 6 month untill recently. I noticed that recently when users try
to change domain password by Ctrl-Alt-Del from win2k wkstation, the windows
will give an error message saying "The system cannot change your password
now because the domain mydomain is not available", However, the password
actually does changed regardless the error message. It seems, there is no
problem in login, accessing network resources etc. However, the error
message is irritating, and I do see some error messages on the samba server
log. It happens to all the users as far as I know.

Any suggestions/solutions??

Exactly the question that I am trying to get answered, too.

What I was able to accomplish:  I setup Samba 3.0.2a and it
was able to see the AD (users/groups) and join into the AD.

BUT... I was not able to get people to authenticate against
Samba.  I kept getting a Kerberos ticket error, and I tried
several configs that I found through Google, none worked.

I am in the process of re-installing my AD (lab setup) into
Mixed Mode to see if Native Mode was my problem.  It seems
as though finding a straight answer to this ? is not easy!

Thanks,
Scott Moseman

Does Samba 3.0.2a release integrate with Windows Active Directory
running in 2003 Native Mode?

The situation is that two corporate departments are joining their
network infrastructure.  One department runs several Samba 2.2
servers and the other is a 2003 Native Mode Active Directory.  I
understand that if you upgrade to Samba 3.0 this supports Windows
2000 AD, but it is unclear to me if Samba will integrate seamlessly
with 2003 Native Mode AD environment.  I'm looking for a straight
forward non biased, no BS answer.  If it works cool, I'm not afraid
of the overall work involved.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
