The trust account allows the UNIX machine to ask the PDC whether the security packet passed with a request is any good. (Is this guy who he claims to be). You need to run: smbpasswd -j COFUTURE -r <name_of_PDC_node> See if this helps. A second version of this sometimes occurs when you make changes to the UNIX node. The PDC no longer recognises the UNIX node. On the PDC, delete the trust account and then re-add it. I have only seen this situation on an NT PDC>
