[Samba] make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!
Hi, We have a linux/samba only domain serving files to about 16-18 Windows clients (mostly XP, a few W2K). PDC: SuSE OpenXchange 4.4 samba 2.2.8a openldap 2.1.4 Domain Member Server (DMS) CentOS 4.4 samba 3.0.10 I set the Domain Member Server up using the default passdb backend (/etc/samba/smbpasswd) to start with and that all worked fine. I would like to use LDAP for centralised authentication and have re-compiled using --with-ldapsam because the PDC uses the older (Version 2) of the Samba LDAP schema. (see smb.conf below for params). I've joined the DOMAIN with: # net rpc join Join to 'DOMAIN' is OK I've set the ldap_bind_password in secrets.tdb with: # smbpasswd -w secret Setting stored password for uid=root,dc=somedomain,dc=com in secrets.tdb # smbclient -L DMS -N gives the following error in the host log: ---8--- auth/auth_domain.c:domain_client_validate(199) domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user root in domain DOMAIN to Domain controller \\PDC. Error was NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD. ---8--- and when I try to connect to a share I get this: # smbclient //DMS/share -U validuser ---8--- auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1177) make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed! ---8--- Connections directly to the PDC from the DMS work fine: # smbclient //PDC/someshare -U validuser Password: Domain=[DOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.8a-UL] smb: \ quit Can anyone please help with these errors?

Now, I do not know. Do I have trivial, idiotic or what kind of problem that nobody answers ?

Re: [Samba] make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!
I'm seeing this problem as well, and while our Windows servers are using Active Directory, my samba configuration is employing the server = domain technique, and the password server is the one Windows AD DC that's in NT emulation mode. Authentications seem to work okay, and users can navigate just fine, but every client has lots of these pdb_init_sam failed errors in its respective log file. pdb looks like password database, and sam is specifically a unix thing, so I'm not sure the Windows servers are involved at this point. I'm wondering if I need to create an 'empty' password database on the unix server, or otherwise find a way to tell Samba not to bother with such, and to just use strictly Windows authentication for Samba clients. Is this turning on any lightbulbs? --Dragon Willem Jaap Zwart wrote: Hi We ran into exactly the same problem (although the AD is from W2K), but didn't find a solution yet.
