Hi! I have a domain with samba+ldap working perfectly. The LDAP and Samba are in a linux vserver machine, but in the main host, not in the guests. The machine has samba 3.0.22 and debian sarge 3.1 up to date. Last week I try to assign privileges to different users with the 'net rpc rights' command and found a strange behaviour. ('asier' is a local user without privileges, not an ldap user) (samba and openldap are working) | asier@kasparov:~ $ net rpc rights list accounts | Password: | Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 So I tryed with the credentials of the 'root' user created with the smbldap-tools. | asier@kasparov:~ $ net -U root%rootpwd rpc rights list accounts | Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 Since some daemons have problems with vserver and localhost addresses I specified the public IP of the server: | asier@kasparov:~ $ net -S 192.168.1.99 -U root%rootpwd rpc rights list accounts | Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1 But if I try only with the IP: | asier@kasparov:~$ net -S 192.168.1.99 rpc rights list accounts | Password: | BUILTIN\Print Operators | SePrintOperatorPrivilege | | BUILTIN\Account Operators | No privileges assigned [ ... the complete list of privileges ... ] If I try with a bad password | asier@kasparov:~ $ net -S 192.168.1.99 -U root%badpwd rpc rights list accounts | Could not connect to server 192.168.1.99 | The username or password was not correct. The behaviour is the same if I run this with the local 'root' account. Why? The password is the same! I can't understand this behaviour
