I'm set this up before, but now I'm having some problems setting Samba up in W2k domain. System: Red Hat Linux 8 In smb.conf I have the following [global] netbios name = THEMACHINESNAME workgroup = OURDOMAINNAME password server = OURPASSWORDSERVER security = domain I shutdown smb via 'service smb stop'... then I #smbpasswd -j OURDOMAINNAME -r OURPASSWORDSERVER but I get cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine OURPASSWORDSERVER. Error was : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. 2003/10/03 14:43:19 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password for domain OURDOMAINNAME. Unable to join domain OURDOMAINNAME. I'm pretty sure I was able to get to work before Oh yeah, I also added the netbios name of the computer to the network. I can see it and open the machine from Network Neighborhood, but before I was able to set up where you would login into your own dir.
