Hello, I have successfully migrated an existing NT domain of about 30 users and 50 machines (mainly NT + W2K) to a Samba 2.2.7a PDC. I used the IDEALX Samba-PDC-Howto as a basis, using SSL and LDAP as the authentication mechanism. Because of problems with NT groups, I decided to try Samba 3.0, so I downloaded and built Samba-3.0alpha21, using the RPM Spec below. Using the same smb.conf that worked with 2.2.7a, I tried adding an NT 4.0 workstation, without success. The error I get on the NT side is: "Unable to add or change accounts on the domain. The account information entered does not grant sufficient privilege to create or change accounts." when I click on Identification Settings in Network on the NT box. I use the Domain Administrator account, which works using rpcclient or smbclient. The log files show a number of access errors, the first being: [2003/03/03 13:28:07, 10] lib/util_seaccess.c:se_access_check(248) se_access_check: requested access 0x00000211, for NT token with 6 entries and first sid S-1-5-21-3642312925-2943760701-1776766777-2000.
