samba - Feb 2004 - Fwd: machine account with strange behaviour

Hi Oliver,
My opinion is that try delleting the machine name using the 'control
center'
and delete the machine account in the passwd file. Then add the machine name 
again using "control center, edit & creat users ", then In console
add the
machine using: # smbpasswd -a -m <machinename>.  Note i managed to do this
on
SuSE 8.1. Please send me an email if u're  thru
Rgds,
Segie.

I'm running samba-3.0.1-2 on a redhat machine. it acts as a pdc
for our domain. clients are w2k machines.

when administering the w2k boxes via the mmc one of the machine
accounts shows up in the domain users list. it is shown together
with it's ending "$". I removed the machine from the domain and
added it back however the effect stays.

Additionally it is *sometimes* not possible to map drives to shares
on that machine. Users receive a message that "no error message was
found" or sometimes that an "unknown internal windows 2000 error"
has
occured.

The machine account was created manually just the same way all the
others were made. It's line in /etc/passwd is completely unsuspicous.

Any help would be appreciated!

best regards, Oliver

thanks for the hint! I did the following: In smbpasswd
the machine account had flags WU. I removed the U flag and
now it's no longer listed in the mmc. I'm monitoring the problem
with the shares and will report later on...

cheers, Oliver
