I may be mixing water and oil here, but with a recent upgrade
I am discovering our solaris clients aren't able to update samba
passwords.
Our server is running 2.2.12 (I intend to upgrade to 3.0.x when
I get LDAP working) with it's own password database.
If I use the smbpasswd that came with 2.2.12 on the solaris clients
everything works. however if I use the smbpasswd that comes with
blastwave (3.0.23) on the x86 solaris machines,
I get this error:
Could not connect to machine xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
Failed to change password for username
the server throws this into the logs:
[2007/09/03 15:41:21, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545)
Couldn't find user '\username' in passdb.

Closing connections
I have not had to create machine accounts for the client machines
before. Is this something I need to change? Do I need to flesh
out the currently empty smb.conf on the client machines?
Is the problem due to my attempt to mix client and server versions,
or does blastwave compile their smbpassword to expect a certain style
of server?
