Please note, this is not a complaint since I know that samba-2.0.x is not advertised as providing PDC functionality, but we all know some people out there have been using it as such and I just wanted to warn them of my test results. Anyone who was using samba 2.0.x, x<3, as a PDC be warned that it no longer seems to work with samba 2.0.3. At least this is my experience when I tested samba-2.0.3 on a Solaris 2.5.1 system that was previously working as a PDC with samba-2.0.2. What I found was that members of a samba-2.0.2 PDC domain could no longer authenticate against that PDC when it was running samba-2.0.3 (neither other samba-2.0.x clients or NT workstations). I tried having the clients rejoin the samba-2.0.3 PDC domain but that failed also. I reverted the PDC to samba-2.0.2 and all was well again. Time to move to the 2.1.0-prealpha branch! -- Todd Pfaff \ Email: pfaff@mcmaster.ca Computing and Information Services \ Voice: (905) 525-9140 x22920 ABB 132 \ FAX: (905) 528-3773 McMaster University \ Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8S 4M1 \

If so, did you have to change >anything from 2.0.x to 2.0.3 to make this work?I was testing 2.0.2 as a PDC, and it worked fine (apart from an issue unrelated to Samba).. but 2.0.3 just refuses to work. More trial and error. Will let people know if I get around it.
