Hi, I am using Samba (v2.2.3a-12.3 on stable Debian Woody) on a bi-cpu server acting as a primary domain controller to allow connection from Win98 and Win2000Pro client computers. All user connections on the domain works well but I have the following lines in my logs for every user connections : .... DATE MYSRV smbd[20603]: connect from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx DATE MYSRV smbd[20603]: [DATE, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1517) DATE MYSRV smbd[20603]: domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain MYDOM .... Can somebody tell me what does it really mean ? Thanks. Best regards. -- Mr FARGET Vincent Universite Claude Bernard LYON 1 CNRS - UMR 5020 Laboratoire des Neurosciences et Systemes Sensoriels 50, avenue Tony Garnier 69366 LYON Cedex 07

If your samba server is the domain controller then this needs to be set to: "security = user"> But what does it means ?security = domain, means that your Samba server is a MEMBER of a domain and then for all authentication requests will try to contact the domain controller.> Is it a real problem or not ?Yes. Correct configuration is very important for correct operation. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org
