samba - Mar 2003 - Samba 2.2.8 is failing on change machine account password

I've noticed that a few systems that I've upgraded to Samba 2.2.8 are
not able to change the machine account password.

I have security = domain and I am seeing entries like this in the log.

[2003/03/27 14:22:23, 1, pid=10302] smbd/service.c:(636)

  2003/03/27 14:22:24 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password
for domain AMERICASE.

I've tried to debug this without much success. Any assistance in
debugging this or resolving this would be appreciated.

I am still able to access my shares but the machine account password
is not changing as it should.

Hi,

I have the sampe problem with
security=domain
but it occurs with older samba versions to.
(Solaris 8, NT4 PDC)
I have tried serveral setting (upper/lowercase of Domainname (in 
workgroup and smbpasswd command),
adding it via smbpasswd with/without creating the machine account at the 
NT4 domain before.
It works for one week after adding the Samba server to the domain
With

machine password timeout = 900

you can decrease the time until the problem occurs from one week to eg. 
15 min for
testing purposes.

It is not a real problem, it still works, but it produces strange 
messages (even on the NT PDC).

Greetings

Hansj?rg
