[Samba] wbinfo -t not working on BDC

[Ian Clancy]

All,
An update on the following problem below. I've updated to 3.0.20 today 
and the problem remains. I think my problem lies with the 
NetrServerAuthenticate2 call that the BDC makes to the PDC. The bdc 
seems to be attempting to authenticate to the pdc using the account 
<mydomainname>$ instead of <mybdcname>? . The account <domainname>$ does 
not exist of course.

Another thing i noticed is that it takes two attempts to join the 
domain. The first attempt returns "Creation of workstation account failed
". At the second attempt "Joined domain DOMAINNAME." is returned.

Does anybody know where i can find more info about the 
NetrServerAuthenticate2 protocol ?.
regards,
Ian
