Samba errors

Mike Sullivan_2 — Mon, 17 Jun 2002 15:57:54 GMT

Hi,

This shows up in my smb log:
"could not fetch trust account password for domain".

And when a user connects to a share and tries to drop off a file there, Samba records this log entry:
" tdb_delete for name failed with error Record does not exist"
I was using the compiled binaries 2.2.2 on hp-ux 10.2. The security type is domain and '*' is the password server. It shows up in Active Directory and Server Manager for Domains, so I think it joined the domain correctly.

Any Ideas or thought to explain these log entries. The users need to be able to put files on this server via smb.

Thanks
Mike

Mike,

Lets review your steps to ensure that the samba server is properly authenicating with the 2K domain.

You have the following parameters in your smb.conf file:

encrypt passwords = Yes
security = domain
workgroup = "name of NT domain"
password server = *

Be sure you've also done the following:

1. You've manually created a machine account on the Win2k PDC via Server Manager for Domains for the samba server.

2. You've issued the following command to join the domain:

smbpasswd -r PDC_NAME -j DOMAIN_NAME

and you've received the proper response from the above command, such as:

smbpasswd: Joined domain DOM.

Are the users authenicating at all at this point, or are they failing to login? Can they use their unix accounts to login?

Hope that helps.

-Mike
