Hi There... I guess i got a simmilar problem as Collen. I configured my samba3 with mysql as PDC. I can add users and connect with them to the shares. Even the Workstation account is created automaticaly. But if i try to logon to this domain Win2k tells me: "The system can't logon to the domain.... the Workstationaccount is missing in the domain or the password for the workstationaccount (??) is incorect" the smb logfile (loglevel = 2 auth:2): [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 2] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_methods_name(437) No builtin backend found, trying to load plugin [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 2] lib/module.c:do_smb_load_module(64) Module '/usr/lib/samba/pdb/mysql.so' loaded [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 1] passdb/pdb_mysql.c:mysqlsam_init(922) Connecting to database server, host: localhost, user: samba, password: bullshit, database: tux_net, port: 3306 [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 2] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_methods_name(437) No builtin backend found, trying to load plugin [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 2] lib/module.c:do_smb_load_module(64) Module '/usr/lib/samba/pdb/mysql.so' loaded [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 1] passdb/pdb_mysql.c:mysqlsam_init(922) Connecting to database server, host: localhost, user: samba, password: bullshit, database: tux_net, port: 3306 [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(93) netbios connect: name1=WAVE-MASTER name2=BINEO [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(100) netbios connect: local=wave-master remote=bineo, name type = 0 [2003/10/01 20:42:04, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_socket_addr(919) getpeername failed.
