Hello Ryan, As you are using PDC / BDC you are using LDAP arnt you?
You have not provided much information, so its very hard to know where to even start. Assuming that users are been replicated to the BDC via LDAP slurpd, you may want to check the following; "net getlocalsid" on the PDC Verify that this matches the BDC "net getlocalsid" .. If not on the BDC "net setlocalsid S-1-5-21-x-y-z" Failing this remove your ldap database on the BDC (backup first) "slapcat -v -l transfer.ldif" on PDC Copy to BDC rm -rf /var/lib/ldap/* On BDC "slapadd -v -l transfer.ldif on BDC" All this is clearly explained in the documentation available on the samba web site. Let me know if this helps.

They're both running 3.0.23c on Sarge, and I've verified that both the PDC and BDC will authenticate users. test-pdc:/etc/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC test-bdc:/var/log/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_BDC My PDC is also my WINS server, and I've verified that XP clients on other subnets see two "DOMAIN#1c" records. The problem I'm having is this: When SMBD on the PDC stops, XP clients will no longer authenticate; the specific error is "the system cannot log you on now because the domain GSS is not available." NMBD is still running, and XP clients still see 2 "#1c" records. How can I ensure that XP clients will authenticate against the BDC if the PDC is unavailable?
