We're encountering sporadic difficulties with Samba 2.0.3 on Sun SPARC Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.7 running in "security = DOMAIN" mode. The PDC logs an error 5722, with text "The session setup from the computer MERCURY failed to authenticate. The name of the account referenced in the security database is MERCURY$. The following error occurred: Access is denied.". The smb log shows the following: [1999/04/21 14:22:30, 0] rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:(149) cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [1999/04/21 14:22:30, 0] rpc_client/cli_login.c:(71) cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed [1999/04/21 14:22:30, 0] smbd/password.c:(1347) domain_client_validate: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine MANTIS. Error was : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. This is a sporadic problem we're having exclusively with Windows 95 clients. The Samba configuration file, less the hosts allow line, is as follows: [global] workgroup = NVESD server string = Samba %v security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = yes password server = mantis flea wasp scorpion time server = Yes deadtime = 5 keepalive = 60 socket options = TCP_NODELAY client code page = 437 local master = no wins server = 140.183.5.55 homedir map = auto.home nis homedir = true invalid users = adm audit bin daemon listen lp news noaccess nuucp root smtp sundiag sync sys sysdiag uucp browseable = no log level = 5 log file = /var/log.samba.%m I've deleted the machine account from the domain, recreated it, and rejoined the domain, but the problem continues. We've had no equivalent difficulties using 1.9.18p8 which was the revision we upgraded from. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. We can increase the log level to whatever is desired and send it along.
