samba - Feb 2002 - samba-2.2.3a and openldap

dear list,

I have some problems with samba-2.2.3a and openldap-support.


Password changing with smbpasswd -a <username> is working properly.
(Username is an existant user who can either be stored in a regularly
/etc/passwd file or in another nsswitch-compatible service like ldap.
In this case the username is an ldap user.)
Password is changed automatically in the directory server. Pretty cool
feature!!

Adding a machineaccount using smbpasswd -m -a machinename seems also to
be successful.
This time the machinename is stored in /etc/passwd (that has no special
intention).
When typing in the above command smbpasswd adds the entry automtically
in the ldap directory.
I can see the change with ldapsearch or with
ldap://localhost/o=testldap,c=ch

smbpasswd -w specifies the password to be used with ldap admin dn (man
smbpasswd)

I am using that command before changing any other user passwords...

The only problem actually is that I can't get into the domain (meanwhile
called HOPELESS) with my wint wks service pack 5 machine.

Original message on wks :

Unable to connect to the domain controller for this domain

nbtstat -a <netbiosname> on the wks shows <1C> so I suppose that pdc
mode on the samba machine is enabled ...



log.smbd looks like this (debug level 5)

I think that the NT MD4 password is the one of the wks machine called 
test$.Seems to be invalid ... but why smbpasswd -a -m test is not 
complaining about anything ?



For now I don't know what to do ...



has anyone encountered a similar problem ?



thanks

dear list,

i've just recompiled samba-2.2.3a without ldap support and found out 
that joining a domain without the ldap-db is running properly.
So there might be a problem with my ldap config ...

thanks,

jan
