Domain trust relationship problem with encrypted passwords.
We have the following scenario: 2 domains on a network seperated by a WAN link. Say, Domain-A and Domain-B Both domains trust each other. So if a user logs on to domain A, he/she can get to resources in domain B. Using encrypted passwords, and pointing the password server to one of the PDC's, i have noticed the following problem: User logged into domain A, can access all smb(unix) shares in domain A, no problem.. however when trying to access to smb(unix) shares in domain B, it fails.. saying "Incorrect password or unknown username" . The password server is being pointed to a PDC in domain A. -- same is true in the vice versa case . However, the same thing works fine from unix.. For example, one can do an smbclient from a unix box in domain-A to an smb(unix) share in domain B.. use the usual domain A based password.. and it WORKS !! It fails, even when the user has the same password and username in both domains. Any ideas/clues ?? Thanks. -Shankar P.S. This is running samba 1.9.17p4 and PDC is an NT4.0 with SP3 box. PPS.
