Hi, I'm trying to create a machine trust account using samba 3.0.23d. I tried on-the-fly creation but this failed and I found this in the log:
[2007/01/07 23:03:04, 2, pid=28573, effective(1000, 1000), real(1000, 0)] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_lookup_domain(2797) Returning domain sid for domain EST -> S-1-5-21-1152323856-1746261438-3327382661 [2007/01/07 23:03:04, 2, pid=28573, effective(1000, 1000), real(1000, 0)] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_lookup_domain(2797) Returning domain sid for domain EST -> S-1-5-21-1152323856-1746261438-3327382661 useradd: unable to lock password file [2007/01/07 23:03:04, 0, pid=28573, effective(1000, 1000), real(1000, 0)] passdb/pdb_interface.c:pdb_default_create_user(368) _samr_create_user: Running the command `/usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false tbrownxp$' gave 1 Why is useradd unable to lock the password file? Then I tried to create the machine trust account manually like this: /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false tbrownxp$ That adds tbrownxp$ to /etc/passwd. Then I do this: smbpasswd -c /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf -m tbrownxp That fails with this error: Failed to find entry for user tbrownxp$. Failed to modify password entry for user tbrownxp$ Why is smbpasswd not finding tbrownxp$ when I add a machine trust account?
