Hi, I have a smoothly running Samba PDC. Just one thing that isn't working: when users try to change their password in their windows 2000 machines, they get an error saying: "The domain NETUAL is not available", but it is !!! I even set 777 permissions on /etc/shadow (shame on me) just to test, but nothing. Curious thing is that i'm running a RH package 3.0.2 If i compile 3.0.4, they can change their passwors. Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito
Hi Markus, Nothing at all, except that if i compile 3.0.4, the thing works. Regards, M?rio Gamito On Wed, 2004-07-07 at 17:27, Markus Benkovski wrote:> Same situation here.

Since you know a newer version works, why not just go with it? Given the bug fixes and such there is really no good reason to hang on to .2. I believe there are instructions for building a rpm from the source distribution if you are trying to keep your rpm based system sane (always a good idea). -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
