I have set up several machine trusts with samba and they have worked
correctly. However for some reason the last machine accounts I tried to
make are not working correctly. Here is what I did to create the trust
accounts:
useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -c "ids8" -s /bin/false ids8$
passwd -l ids8$ (it even tells me that I have success)
smbpaswd -a -m ids8
"ids8" of course being the machine name. So I try to connect my
machine
to the domain and it give me an access denied, it basically is acting
like it can not create the trust relationship between samba and the
workstation and not even allowing root to log in. When I checked the
smbpasswd file I noticed that all of the successfull accounts had X's
instead of a password hash, but the machine accounts that I made since
this problem have actual numbers in the password has column of the entry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I will provide any
information you think would be usefull in resolving this problem.
