[Samba] Failed to obtain server credentials, perhaps a standalone server?

["Stefan Günther"]

Hi Rowland,

I have removed the suggested options in the smb.conf, but Samba still refuses to start.

And /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb exists and is readable with ldbedit.

The provision was done as suggested in the documentation:

samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --use-xattrs=yes --interactive

Realm: COMPANYNET.NET
Domain [COMPANYNET]:
Server Role (dc, member, standalone) [dc]:
DNS backend (SAMBA_INTERNAL, BIND9_FLATFILE, BIND9_DLZ, NONE)
[SAMBA_INTERNAL]:
DNS forwarder IP address (write 'none' to disable forwarding) [192.168.194.6]:
Administrator password:
Retype password:


Thanks for your help,

Stefan
