[Samba] Domain Login

[Rick Jones]

I've just encountered a very similar problem.

Using Samaba 2.2.8 as a PDC, everything has been fine for ages, a few 
clients, all Windows XP. But I just had to do a repair-install of Windows 
on one machine (it got corrupted for unknown reasons). After doing this, it 
won't logon to the domain, I get exactly the same error as below.

However, the trust a/c does exist. I've removed the account from the 
server, and re-added it in different ways. When I use the join-domain 
screen on the PC it says "Welcome to the domain", and the trust a/c has 
been written in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd. But it refuses to accept any 
logins. I'm lost!

The only difference I can see about the PC re-install is that I used the 
Windows XP CD with SP2 built-in. Previously, and I think with all the other 
machines, they were installed with XP original, then SP2 applied after.

Is there something new in XP SP2 that Samba 2.2 doesn't understand?

the
