Hi, I am having trouble with a samba setup which has worked fine for about 2 years. When a file is being saved to unix, the file is wiped out and replaced with samba logs. I am getting errors in the samba logs when the problem occurs: [2005/02/10 14:21:36, 0] source/smbd/password.c:connect_to_domain_password_server(1381) connect_to_domain_password_server: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine FARLEY. Error was : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. where FARLEY is the authentication server. On FARLEY, which is an NT server, I get the error message: The session setup from the computer ABSOLUT failed to authenticate. The name of the account referenced in the security database is ABSOLUT$. The following error occurred: Access is denied. ABSOLUT is the unix server. anyone have any idea what could be happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks! Linda
