OK, I'm taking another run at this thing. My experiments with the TNG branch are on hold. I won't be allowed to put up a non-Microsoft domain controller anyway, so I'm stepping back to just putting up a good fileserver. I'm testing the head branch code under Solaris 7 on SPARC (calamity). The code I'm using was checked out yesterday. I've got three other Solaris 2.6 machines running 2.0.4b with zero problems. (And that means *zero* problems for months and months. Great job, guys!) The local NT PDC is running NT 4, service pack 5, in a "resource domain" called ISS-TECH. My other servers all use the local PDC for authentication, and that's what I'm trying to do with calamity. The basic networking stuff works, but the PDC is rejecting my password. With debug level 5, it looks as if it thinks my NT account doesn't exist. The Samba server is logging a "no such user" error after having a conversation with the PDC. Here's my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = ISS-TECH server string = Samba Server security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = iss-tech-f username map = /usr/local/samba-main/lib/map log file = /usr/local/samba-main/var/log.%m max log size = 50 name resolve order = host lmhosts bcast wins client code page = 437 lm announce = True local master = No dns proxy = No wins server = 130.121.5.43 remote announce = 130.42.151 [export] path = /local/export read only = No guest ok = Yes In running through the checks in DIAGNOSIS.txt, tests 7, 9, 10, and 11 have problems. Here's what I see: # ./smbclient //calamity/export -Uallenp load_unicode_map: filename /usr/local/samba-main/lib/codepages/unicode_map.437 does not exist. added interface ip=130.42.35.62 bcast=130.42.35.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) # "allenp" is my NT login, and I gave my NT password in the above test. All permutations of my Unix and NT login names and passwords produce the above error. Also, I don't know where the "load_unicode_map" complaint is coming from. The file it wants certainly does not exist. In test 9, a "net use x: \\calamity\export" command on an NT 4 machine produced a "network name cannot be found" error. That host can ping calamity, and vice versa. A "net view \\calamity" command on the same PC succeeded in showing the "export" service. In test 10, the "nmblookup -M ISS_TECH" command produced the message: querying ISS-TECH on 130.42.35.255 name_query failed to find name ISS-TECH I guess I can understand that. We have one big switched network, but the PC's and Unix machines are on different IP subnets. And finally, in test 11, neither calamity nor any of my production Samba servers appear in the browse list on the NT machine. This appears to be a normal condition on my network. Can anybody point me in a direction to go looking? Have I left out a detail that would unlock the whole thing? Thanks! Paul Allen -- Paul L.
