samba - Jul 2004 - Error make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

Hi,

Not sure whether you have resolved it. Hope it may help...

I got same problem with the following error mesg (on Fedora/Linux)
smbd[7287]: [2004/07/14 19:45:42, 0]
auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1100)
smbd[7287]:   make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

In my case, check "use ldap" using authconfig. or enable it manually
in /etc/nsswitch.conf
will resolve the issue.

But I don't understand why it occured in my trustrelationship,
OLDDOM (winNT) <-> NEWDOM (Linux)
I got above error when using #smbclient //<NEWDOMserver>/tmp -W OLDDOM -U
<OLDDOMuser>
Since the authentication go to OLDDOM, why it pass to auth_util.c and error?
Only user who has unix account in /etc/passwd (eq to OLDDOMuser) can connect.
Others, I have to turn on ldap in nsswitch.conf (authconfig)

Any idea?

Cheers,
Hendra

Hi,

Samba 3.0.1 on Solaris 9.

We have a user domain EMEA and a resource domain NLRESOURCES.

[global]
	workgroup = NLRESOURCES
	security = DOMAIN
	password server = nlresod01,nlresod02

All users in the EMEA domain can access the shares without any problems.

Except for one user. This user cannot access any of the shares.
>From the log file:
[2004/04/06 11:23:33, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1080)
  make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

As far as I can tell all users have the same settings.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks,

Simon.
