Repeat background from previous posts: I'm using a Debian woody based system (partially upgraded to 'testing' in order to use tls with ldap), with samba_2.2.7 source built by debian/rules with LDAP turned on, using gcc 3.0.4, libldap2-tls_2.0.23-14, and libldap2_2.0.23-14. I'm setting up PDC service -- when I try to join a windows machine (this is XP) to the domain, I get 'specified user does not exist' on the windows system and the join fails. ------------ The admin username/password authenticates. The machine username lookup succeeds and the correct rid is returned. Then the following lines appear in log.smbd (with -d 10): [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 3, pid=27738] rpc_server/srv_pipe.c:api_rpcTNP(1180) api_rpcTNP: pipe 29607 rpc command: SAMR_OPEN_USER [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 5, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_debug(60) 000000 samr_io_q_open_user [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 6, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_debug(60) 000000 smb_io_pol_hnd domain_pol [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 5, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_uint32(588) 0000 data1: 00000000 [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 5, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_uint32(588) 0004 data2: 00000007 [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 5, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_uint16(559) 0008 data3: 0000 [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 5, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_uint16(559) 000a data4: 0000 [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 5, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_uint8s(675) 000c data5: fb 8f ef 3d 5a 6c 00 00 [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 5, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_uint32(588) 0014 access_mask: 00000090 [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 5, pid=27738] rpc_parse/parse_prs.c:prs_uint32(588) 0018 user_rid : 00001e22 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< [2002/12/05 12:42:19, 4, pid=27738] rpc_server/srv_lsa_hnd.c:find_policy_by_hnd_internal(168) Found policy hnd[0] [000] 00 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FB 8F EF 3D ........ ........ .
