I had this problem and I could not find the solution on Usenet that's why I'm posting - maybe somebody more fortunate won't have to spend hours and hours to fix this.
Problem: successfully joined Samba to Windows AD. wbinfo -g and wbinfo -u worked fine, wbinfo -t did not: # wbinfo -t checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW (0x80000005) Could not check secret Also, if I tried connecting to the share from Windows it would silently fail. When tried mounting from Linux, would get this: # mount -tcifs //sambahost/share /mnt/samba_share -ocredentials=/etc/samba/sambauser.cred mount error 5 = Input/output error Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) As it turned out my problem was that the Linux host name was too long - over 14 chars. Once I shrunk it to 14 and rejoined the domain - everything started working. --alex -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
