[Samba] Windows XP joining Samba 3 PDC: SAM Response - user unknown

[Christian Geiger]

Hi all,

I encounter a problem trying to join a Samba 3 domain with a Windows XP 
client. Checking the network traffic with Wireshark I can see that the 
client sends a logon request with an empty username and the samba server 
replies with "user unknown". This behaviour is the same no matter 
whether I try to join the domain via system properties or the netdom 
join command.

I can find nothing related to processing the request in the samba 
logfiles except that nmbd says "processing delayed initial logon reply 
for client". Neither smbd nor winbindd make any log statements at all 
while trying to join the domain - even in loglevel 5. And also the 
ldap-server doesn't seem to be consulted.

What's going wrong? What am I missing? Do you have an idea?

Thx a lot
Chris
