[Samba] could not fetch trust account password for domain
Hi all, I am a samba rookie with a problem. I have replaced an old server with a new server, and copied over the original samba config which was for samba file but the new server has samba 3.0.5 while the old version was 2.0.7. I had problems connecting to samba, so I tried using the supplied default config file and then migrated the original settings to the new file. problems still persisted. We have a w2k pdc using AD and we want this samba file server to be in it's own workgroup or domain. The original global settings were: wins server = a.b.c.d dns proxy = no encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 preferred master = no password server = server_pdc another_machine_no_longer_in_use security = domain ssl ca certfile = /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt workgroup = XYZ server string = XYZ File & Print netbios name = vault log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log load printers = yes netbios aliases = intranet cvs when I try to connect to this samba server from a windows xp workstation or from another linux box, the log file has the following error message: [2004/08/23 10:33:36, 0] auth/auth_domain.c:check_ntdomain_security(284) check_ntdomain_security: could not fetch trust account password for domain 'XYZ' I've tried looking at the samba ml archives and the docs, but can't figure out how to solve this problem. I'm pretty inexperienced with smb and windows domain issues, most of my experience has been very simple setups. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Dave
