we had a major crash with out samba servers today. trouble lied with the SID's and trustdomainaccounts, here is some problem, 'net getlocalsid' gave back an error 'can't fetch domain sid for name: WALDORF' ?? Waldorf is the netbios name, not the domain ?? i thought localsid is the SID for the samba server name, not the domain ?? 'net getlocalsid <DOMAIN>' does get the right domain sid. but not the SID for the server itself also i had a security context stack overflow ?!?!?! (panic action and core dumps.. arggggg) all of a sudden, my PDC started looking for a trusted domain, 'JORDANET' witch is the domain name it is serving him self ?? after this, i deleted all the TDB files (include the secret.tdb) did a net rpc join, and a NET RPC GETSID against the BDC, and all worked fine again ?? (-S<BDC>) dunno, we did not changed a thing in our setup, and the PDC was running for 5 day's straight. ?? so i find it kinda strange it stopped running all of a sudden, an started to nag about trusted domains and all ?? hope this isn't going to be a regular problem, did someone had simulair trouble before ???
