Samba : change_trust_account_password: Failed

[Chuck Kohnen]

Would anyone be able to help me out with this? Would this mean I need to recreate my machine account on the domain via smbpasswd?

Doesn't your primary domain controller, which is a Windows 2000 account, control the smbpasswd? And isn't the UNIX root account the same as your PDC administrator's account? So chances are the password for this administrator's account on the PDC is what you should target. Who would change this password on your PDC?

Other than that, there are cracker programs that will break both Windows and UNIX passwords. But a reinstall and restore might be faster.
