Hello all, We have Samba (2.2.5) running on three servers, each in a different subnet. One of them is a PDC (domain master = yes). The Samba PDC is also the NIS master. The smbpasswd is replicated using rsync to the other machines that act as Samba BDCs (domain master = no). They are also NIS slave servers. The smbpasswd synchronization takes place automatically every time smbpasswd is updated, and the NIS maps are updated and pushed automatically to the slaves whenever a machine joins the domain.
Let's say that the Samba PDC is in subnet A, and the BDCS are in subnets B and C. I can join the domain with NT, W2k and WXP from all of the subnets, and the machine trust accounts and passwords are being replicated as they should be. Nothing ever stops working in subnet A, where the PDC is (NT4, W2k and WXP join and never stop working). Also, the W2k and WXP clients never stop co-operating in subnet B and C. When I join the domain from subnet B or C with an NT4 workstation, it also works. But after I've joined the domain with some other machine, the previously joined NT4 will complain that the domain doesn't trust the machine anymore (I don't know the exact phrase in English, because all of our NT4s speak Finnish). I've checked that the machine trust account password doesn't change, so it shouldn't be that. I've also tried doing the smbpasswd synchronization manually after joining the domain (with rsync, also), but the results are similar. The second joining host breaks the first host's trust account, if the first host was an NT4 in a subnet of either of the BDCs. The NT4 workstations all have SP6 installed. Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? Where should I start debugging? -Mikko- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
