perhaps im trying to use winbindd incorrectly, but i want to set up samba so users on a nt4.0 pdc can access samba shares as their nt login name. the samba computer seems to have joined the nt domain correctly, and wbinfo -u spits out: debian:/usr/local/samba/bin# ./wbinfo -u CHS-LIB+Administrator CHS-LIB+BackupAdmin etc- however, when i try to access the samba shares, the samba logfile for the nt computer im using to access samba shows: [2001/10/26 02:56:48, 0] rpc_client/cli_login.c:cli_nt_setup_creds(72) cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed [2001/10/26 02:56:48, 0] smbd/password.c:connect_to_domain_password_server(1372) connect_to_domain_password_server: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine CHS-LIB-NT-S.
