I have a samba 2.2.8a PDC, no windows servers at all.
The local network works. Conan, the PDC also acts as a WINS server.
Postie, the DHCP server sets:
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.241 ;
option netbios-node-type 2 ;
All clients have lmhosts file with:
192.168.1.241 conan #pre #dom:sjsa

Last week I needed to reinstall a computer, named pixel
On server I ran
smbpasswd -a -m pixel
to reset the machine account password.
Pixel runs Win2k SP4
I go to Pixel and move it to the domain.
Usual signin and password of domain administrator.
Long Pause. Welcome to SJSA domain
Reboot.
Now if I try to log in to a domain account, I get the message:
The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system computer
account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account
is incorrect.
Looking in pixel.log I see:
[2007/12/11 10:41:25, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1558)
domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for
domain SJSA
Looking further, this is a common message in the log files, occuring
just before shares connect normally.
Not sure what else to look for.
Problem solved.
I had two hosts with the same UID in both master.passwd and in
smbpasswd. So in this case both jabberwocky$ and pixel$ had
UID's of 5100.
How did this happen? Easy. All machines are group 5000. I use
the last octet of the IP to give them a unique UID. Jabberwocky
was turfed. In recycling the IP I failed to remove the old name
from master.passwd and smbpasswd.
(So many places:
DNS
DHCP
Password
smbpasswd
hosts.yp
Sigh. Anyway, posting this so that the Next Guy can find it
faster.
