When configuring a SunOS 5.9 box running Samba 2.2.8a with security=domain, as per http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch04.html#samba2-CHP-4-SECT-7 I get the following error "could not fetch trust account password for domain" when trying to connect to a share via 'net use * \\server\share /user:domain\username' However, 'security=user' works correctly.

Hi, I recently installed Samba 3.0.11 on Suse 9.2 and have managed to get a simple domain working (people can logon, share printers etc), however, I'm having trouble setting up trusts between the new samba domain and the old NT domain. I'm following this help: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/InterdomainTr usts.html, specifically, using samba as the

machine account (NT Workstation type, not backup). Then you will need to run smbpasswd -j <nt domainname> -r <your NT domain controller netbios name> You will still require a username in the /etc/passwd or nis database for all of you NT users that you expect to access shares on the Unix box, but if there only access will be via samba, you won't need to administer any passwords

Morning I am new to linux and have configured a Postfix + Dovecot Mail server on my SUSE Linux Server 10 SP2 Machine. Postfix works fine I assume as mail gets delivered to user's mailbox or directories. But when I configure a mail client to download mail from the server it finds no mail. When I check the user's mailbox using Webmin mail is delivered. I have also tried to telnet to

Hi all, after installing samba 2.2.5 (on Solaris8 running NIS+) it is not possible to create user entries in smbpasswd.

Martin, There is a great deal more that needs to be done other then the creation of a smb.conf file for setting up a PDC for any Windows workstations. Unfortunately, I only have experience with setting up a PDC for a mixed bag of Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0 and Win2K systems. The only WinXP machine we utilize is one laptop, which is rarely ever attached to the corporate network. So,
