I had exactly the same problem. I had a perfectly working 2.2.2 PDC for the
TEST domain during my testing, and I thought I'd try another server with a
different domain, to see what would happen
trying to connect a PC from one domain to shares on another.
I created a new PDC for the TEST2 domain, copied the appropriate files over
(including smbpasswd), and told a new PC to join the TEST2 domain. It
successfully registered itself in the TEST2 domain,
but when I went to log in to the TEST2 domain from that PC, I got the above
message. Same config (I thought), why the h*ll was this happening!?
After much pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth, I decided to go back to basics
and follow the Samba Fault Tree, from
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch09_02.html. While doing a
"smbclient -L localhost -U%", I got a "Password:" prompt,
which the notes told me was because of a bad guest account. Which, of course, I
had forgotten to add to unix on the new server...
My smb.conf had:
guest account = ntguest
guest ok = Yes
and I added the user ntguest to /etc/passwd and shadow, and it fixed everything!
-Hope this helps,
