samba - Aug 2002 - RE: 1st thought: was: help (Still) w2k pro no longer trusted by 2.2.3 pdc

Thanks for the suggestions Trevor. Reformatting in case someone else has problem
too: MY COMMENTS are in CAPS to make easier to understand.
.*(U said) ..(snips...)... 
a) I (had) same problem, if I remember correctly, 
my trusted accounts had names too long (>14 characters) (1) 
and there was a CAPS issue, make sure all is correct, 
even if windows forces caps when you're using lowercase. 

(1) INTERESTING. SO "MILO" would affect it, or is it DOMAIN+CLIENT
NAME (OUTLAND+MILO) STILL only is 12 characters.
(But it IS over 11 characters which is another MS-DOS # of importance too) 

b) (SNIP) (Trevor said he) used computername$ for useradd & passwd -l, and
computername without $ for the samba side
of things. 

OK. YES, I also did adduser -g user milo$ and 
smbpasswd -a milo$ 
(PW) milo 

OH NO. DONT TELL ME THE SMBPASSWD is supposed to be a 
smbpasswd -a milo 
(PW) milo 
( I would bet that ISNT correct for the smbpasswd option.-phew) 

c) Did you # passwd -l ) 
NO, BUT I DID A /BIN/FALSE for login shell

You most probably know more than me,  **(Nah)

Have you tried writing to someone on the team? 
TRIED IT, NO RESPONSE

One thing I'm sure of is that your problem is definitely Computer Trust
Account related.

I AGREE (GRIN)
