Hello. I have recently set up another secondary Samba server within my shop with RAID 5 due to the increasing need for more storage. I have this problem I would like to resolve. I been surfing the net and asking around my contacts to resolve this problem, yet both did not turn up any solution. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Samba version: 2.2.2, compiled from source OS: freeBSD 4.4 stable Global section of smb.conf: creemore.bigstudios.com:/usr/local/samba/lib $ less smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 192.168.75.105 (192.168.75.105) # Date: 2002/01/04 09:57:37 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = RADIANT security = SERVER encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes password server = foam passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *ew*password:* %n\n *e-enter*new*password:* %n\n max log size = 50 os level = 0 preferred master = False local master = No domain master = False dns proxy = No comment = Samba %v guest account = guest create mask = 0664 force create mode = 0664 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0775 hosts allow = 192.168.75. print command = [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /tmp create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes browseable = No [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = No guest ok = Yes [jobs] path = /jobs read only = No guest ok = Yes Description of problem: I have 2.2.0-alpha Samba server as primary and I would like to set this machine as secondary server. Primary is PDC and NIS master. Machine I need to set up is NIS client. My users can view and browse the secondary server. Read and write works as well. However, I believe my secondary server did not join the domain properly. If I were to execute smbclient command, it gives me this creemore.bigstudios.com:/usr/local/samba/bin $ ./smbclient -U% -L localhost added interface ip=192.168.75.108 bcast=192.168.75.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) I have 2.0.6 Samba server on IRIX as secondary Samba server which was built by sys admin before I came. Its smb.conf is identical to above except for share location. If I were to execute smbclient command against that, I get this. creemore.bigstudios.com:/usr/local/samba/bin $ ./smbclient -U% -L hercules added interface ip=192.168.75.108 bcast=192.168.75.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[RADIANT] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.6] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- tmp Disk Temporary file space jobs Disk Samba 2.0.6 jobs2 Disk Samba 2.0.6 /n/dskServer5 Disk Samba 2.0.6 IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 2.0.6) BigPrinter Printer Server Comment --------- ------- FOAM Samba 2.2.0-alpha0 HERCULES Samba 2.0.6 Workgroup Master --------- ------- RADIANT FOAM
