Hi all.
I am attempting to set up Samba on some DEC/Compaq systems that are
clustered together and am having mixed results. I'm hoping that I can
get some advice from the collective wisdom.
As part of my setup, I need to have some Virtual Servers defined. From
what I have seen in the documentation, I should be able to do this with
the 'netbios aliases' option, and with 'security = server', this
does
indeed work. However, when I attempt to join the existing NT Domain
with a Windows 2K PDC, I only seem to be able to get the name specified
by the original 'netbios name' option to be accepted. For example, my
'smb.conf' has the following lines:
netbios name = alpha9
netbios aliases = dev_svc
security = domain
workgroup = ITD
password server = hqisdc01
...
After running 'smbpasswd -j ITD -r HQISDC01 -U
<admin>%<password>' and
then starting the daemon, I can access the 'alpha9' name from a Windows
client, but if I attempt to access the 'dev_svc' name, I get an error
popup about "Access is denied". In addition, my 'log.smbd'
file shows
rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:cli_net_auth2(160)
cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT
rpc_client/cli_login.c:cli_nt_setup_creds(72)
cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
smbd/password.c:connect_to_domain_password_server(1372)
connect_to_domain_password_server: unable to setup the PDC
credentials to machine HQISDC01. Error was :
NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT.
smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1591)
domain_client_validate: Domain password server not available.
I tried defining 'netbios name = dev_svc' and re-running the smbpasswd
command to join the domain, and while it reported that the join was
successfull, I still can't access the virtual name. I'm guessing that
the NIC address is already registered under the original name and NT
won't allow a different name on that NIC.
So, is there any way to get Virtual Servers to work in an NT Domain?
Thanks in advance
