Hello! I have a samba fileserver (Debian Woody, Samba 2.2.3a) that I am trying to join into an NT domain (smbpasswd -j ...); the command says that it joined the domain successfully.
Then I setup security=domain, workgroup name etc. as outlined in the samba howtos. However whenever I try to access a share on the Samba server I am prompted for a password (even though I already logged in through the domain controller) and am subsequently denied access. The logfiles on the fileserver contain the following on the failed mount attempt: [2002/09/26 18:53:28, 0] rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:cli_net_req_chal(246) cli_net_req_chal: Error NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME [2002/09/26 18:53:28, 0] rpc_client/cli_login.c:cli_nt_setup_creds(48) cli_nt_setup_creds: request challenge failed [2002/09/26 18:53:28, 0] smbd/password.c:connect_to_domain_password_server(1336) connect_to_domain_password_server: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine ADLER.INFORMATIK.TU-FREIBERG.DE. Error was : NT_STATUS_OK. [2002/09/26 18:53:28, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1554) domain_client_validate: Domain password server not available.

[2002/09/26 18:53:28, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1367) unable to open passdb database. I don't know what to make of this -- does someone have any suggestion on what went wrong? I am rather green on this. Things that may be notable to our setup: - Samba server and PDC live in different IP domains and different IP subnets - I had to manually insert the machine name of the PDC in the smb.conf file; putting in "*" to let Samba find out the PDC on it's own results in "Domain password server not available" message in the logfiles Thanks for your patience. -- Helge Bahmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /| \__ The past: Smart users in front of dumb terminals /_|____\ _/\ | __) $ ./configure \\ \|__/__| checking whether build environment is sane... yes \\/___/ | checking for AIX... no (we already did this) | -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
