Hi, I have recently upgraded from an old version of Samba - Pre 2.2 to 2.27a, running on RH8.0. My network is setup as follows: Multiple Samba Servers, each with 2 NIC's One Server is configured as PDC with WINS. The other servers are configured as BDC using the PDC for WINS support. I do not use LDAP or winbindd. Each user has an entry in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd. Below is a copy of the log entries for the PDC and BDC as well as their smb.conf files... Any help would be appreciated... Regards Enrico On the PDC, the nmbd log shows the following: [2003/01/07 15:00:33, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(509) get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail: Doing a node status request to the domain master browser at IP 172.16.128.130 failed. Cannot get workgroup name. On the PDC, the log.%u shows the following: [2003/01/06 10:29:12, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1556) domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain JBPN The PDC's smb.conf file looks like this: [global] workgroup = JBPN netbios name = JBPN1 server string = Samba Server 2.2.7a-1 security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = jbpn1 pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *successfully* unix password sync = Yes name resolve order = host wins bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 logon script = start.bat logon path = \\jbpn1\home\profiles\%u logon drive = h: domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes local master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes remote browse sync = 172.17.1.3 172.18.1.3 [netlogon] comment = Logon Profiles path = /home/profiles/%u admin users = +it write list = +it locking = No [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /%H read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 browseable = No On the BDC, the nmbd log shows the following: [2003/01/07 15:29:58, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(183) process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request received for name AARONM<00> from IP 172.16.144.106 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.
