samba - Nov 2005 - Help needed setting up samba to authenticate against NT PDB

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I try to set up a Linux/Samba box to authenticate users (on Windows 2000
and XP boxes) against a Windows NT4 Primary domain controller but failed
with what I tried so far.

- - both machines are on the same local network (192.168.17.X)
- - the windows box runs NT4. I havn't set up this and I don't know much
about it either but I have adminstrator access to it.
- - I tried this setting

  security = domain'
  password server = <IP of PDB>

  but then I get the following error in the samba log:

[2005/11/17 12:41:25, 0] auth/auth_domain.c:check_ntdomain_security(284)
  check_ntdomain_security: could not fetch trust account password for
domain 'TVC'

What is this trust account password and how do I make it known to samba?
Can somebody post a sample configuration for this kind of setup?
Do I have to set up something on the PDB?

Thanks in advance! I'm not very experienced in windows administration
(though I do have lot of expertise on linux) so many terms in the samba
docs are greek to me.

Chris

Christopher,

You need to add the samba server to the NT4 domain.  The procedure to
follow can be looked up here:

Read up on Domain Security mode.
