Samba_Version: 2.2.0a Samba_Server_HDWR: DEC Alpha 4100 Samba_Server_OS: Tru64 v.4.0g PDC_Server_OS: Windows 2000 Server sp2 Client_OS: Windows 2000 sp2 I have two identical Alpha 4100 UNIX servers, and both are running Tru64 ver. 4.0g and each has Samba 2.2.0a installed and operating. Both have been functioning with no configuration changes for over a year. However, something has happened to one of the installations. While all users can still map drives to the Samba share on one server (alpha-ems), only a few users can map a drive to the Samba share on the other server (alpha-ems2) and the rest of us can not. When they try, they are challenged with a user/pass screen. I have tried the tests in the documentation including ping from both server and client and they succeed, but this test fails: # smbpasswd -j EMSPHX -r EMSINTERNET -U% cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine EMSINTERNET. Error was : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. 2002/04/18 08:28:16 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password for domain EMSPHX. Unable to join domain EMSPHX. If I don't put the -U% on the end, then I am again presented with the user/pass screen. However, when I check smbstatus, I see two or 3 users successfully attached each day (but only the same 2 or 3). # smbstatus Samba version 2.2.0a Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- inv-fin applmgr dba 9535 tealy_gx150 (172.20.1.114) Thu Apr 18 06:35:05 2002 inv-fin applmgr dba 11180 jhooper_gx150 (172.16.1.109) Thu Apr 18 08:13:55 2002 No locked files Prior to last Thursday I could map my I: drive to the inv-fin share on server alpha-ems2.

Now three users can connect, but the rest of us can not! Here are the results when I run 'smbclient' but note the fact I have to add '-U%' at the end, otherwise I am presented with a password request, and no password I enter will work. However, if I just hit [Enter] instead of typing in a password, I get the message 'Anonymous login successful' and the requested data is presented. This may be a clue as to my problems. # smbclient -L alpha-ems2 -U% added interface ip=172.16.1.17 bcast=172.16.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Domain=[EMSPHX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.0a] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- inv-fin Disk Invoice & Financial output (APPU) temp Disk Temp directory on alpha-ems2 IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 2.2.0a) ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba 2.2.0a) Server Comment --------- ------- ALPHA-EMS2 Samba 2.2.0a EMSINTERNET EMS Primary Domain Controller Workgroup Master --------- ------- EMSPHX EMSINTERNET Here is the entire content of my smb.conf file on server alpha-ems2, which has remained unchanged for over a year: [global] security=domain workgroup=EMSPHX encrypt passwords=yes password server = EMSINTERNET PHX2K add user script=/usr/local/samba/bin/add_user [inv-fin] comment = Invoice & Financial output (APPU) guest account = applmgr guest ok = yes path = /u07/app/appuappl/admin/reports/out public = yes read only = yes [temp] comment = Temp directory on alpha-ems2 guest ok = no path = /temp writeable = yes valid users = dmilczar ikahn dgeddes Have you any ideas where I might look for a solution?
