hi everybody i am quite in the same situation as ingmar koecher http://samba.cadcamlab.org/lists/samba/Jun2002/00117.html Joined the NT domain with "smbpasswd -j OURDOMAIN -r thepdc" - OK. Then I start "winbindd -d 10 -i" in a terminal window Then I issue "wbinfo -u" and voila, all the users are being listed. Then I issue "wbinfo -t" and it says: -- Secret is bad 0xc00000e5 -- accepted socket 11 client_read: read 1304 bytes. Need 0 more for a full request. process_request: request fn CHECK_MACHACC [31646]: check machine account could not retrieve trust account pw for POST client_write: wrote 1304 bytes. read failed on sock 11, pid 31646: EOF if i check secrets.tdb with tdbtool it seems for me ok key 18 bytes SECRETS/SID/HCWE8G data 68 bytes [000] 01 04 00 00 00 00 00 05 15 00 00 00 2B 26 99 42 ........ ....+&.B [010] 3A 7F D8 1C E6 69 44 6E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 :....iDn .......
