Maybe with both your information and mine, something will pop-out in the Coder's mind or someone else who has been having the same issue. > I got a problem using Samba 3.0.2a w Openldap as > passwordstore.

While looking through my logs this morning, I came across this exact same error in at least two of my machines (I'm trolling through the others now). The two machines in question have been reporting this error message every 4 hours (approx.) since the first week of the month. > b) The computer seems to work for now, Both of the machines are working fine (at the moment). > but I wonder ho long it will go on without beeing able to > change it's machinepassword. Well, mine have been like this for nearly a month now. Not saying they won't die today, but at least they have that long. > c) Is it possible to have the machine log when it has > successfully changed the password as well? I think this is an automated process that neither an admin nor Samba can control. FYI, my setup is like this: Samba 3.0.2 PDC with LDAP password backend. Workstations are 99% Windows 2000 Pro w/SP4 (I do have one Windows 98SE box and 2 Windows XP Pro w/SP1 machines floating around). One of the machines in question is running Windows 2000, the other (mine) is running Windows XP. What kind of information would the Devel. Team need to solve this? Since it seems to happen about every 4 hours I could run a level 10 log for my machine and try to capture it. Would that help? -- Kevin L.
