OK, so that is indeed realted to the location of secrets.tdb. Because of improtant changes to FHS-related patches, a bug slipped into the 3.2.0* packages: secrets.tdb (which also contains the domain membership password) was, in all versions priori to 3.2.0-4, in /etc/samba while it should have been in /var/lib/samba, just like it was in 3.0.* releases. That explains why your server "lost" the domain membership: the domain member pwd was still in /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb but samba was looking for it in /etc/samba. So, re-joining solved the problem....but will drop you into a new problem when you'll upgrade the samba packages with 3.2.0-4. That version will again look for secrets.tdb in /var/lib/samba, will find the *old* one there and then will again report domain membership failures. So, once upgraded to 3.2.0-4, you'll have to re-join the domain *again*. Sorry for the trouble. > > P.S.

Hmmm, weird. I suggest you just reply to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". About not receiving my mail, maybe inist.ru has some (bad) anti-spam rules preventing systems like mine to send mails directly. That unfortunately seems to be a common setup (which I strongly disapprove: I don't see why I would be less reliable wrt spam than my ISP mail server).
