None of the Win 2000 workstations on my Samba 3.02 network is able to change its password. Every machine's event log contains error messages every 30 days like this:
Changing machine account password for account P2450-2$ failed with the following error: The stub received bad data. For the machines that are restarted every day, the error message only appears once or twice evey 30 days. For machines that are always on, the error appears many times before the machine gives up and waits another 30 days. Everything else works fine, so it isn't causing any great problems, but I suppose it isn't the best security either, if the machine passwords are forever stuck. The Samba server is a PDC. The password backend is smbpasswd. Mark -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
