Hello, I have 2.2.6.p2 installed as a PDC and there are around ten PCs(Win2k sp2 and 3) in this domain. Everything works fine and recently I tried to add two extra PCs in this domain, but Win2k PC generates an error message saying "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "hm": No mapping between account names and security IDs was done". As usual I added those PCs as Machine Trust Account'ed into samba passwd file by executing "smbpasswd -am hm3" so now there are records for _each_ PC in the /usr/local/private/smbpasswd file: =========================cut smbpasswd===============================... hm3$:20006:66FD7474B2A116C1AAD3B435B51404EE:6761A1A8AE44999D976C26FCCEDDC0E1:[W ]:LCT-3D886D4D: ... =========================cut smbpasswd=============================== I tried to localize the problem by examining samba logs (log level 10), but I couldn't :-(. I have not found any errors except this one: [2002/09/18 18:45:40, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1549) domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain HM What can cause this problem? Are there any ideas of how can I localize the problem?
