Hi, Probably You have a LDAP passdb. I have and also ran into that problem. I have samba-3.0.0. Solution, use smbldap-tools
// create machine account $ smbldap-useradd.pl -w ntdomain // set desired password for the account $ smbldap-passwd.pl ntdomain$ The entry you created, has sambaAcctFlags [W ] but should have [I ] So make a tiny text file (foobar) for changing the entry: dn: uid=ntdomain$,ou=Computers,dc=whatever,dc=com changetype: modify sambaAcctFlags: [I ] // Then apply the text file to LDAP $ ldapmodify -x -h 127.0.0.1 -D "cn=Manager,dc=whatever,dc=com" -W -f /path-to/foobar // after You have created one side trust from NT usermanager, run $ net rpc trustdom establish ntdomain enter the set password and voila! It works with samba-3 <-> NT 4 domain and also samba-3 <-> Windows 2000 AD in mixed mode. Important: both DC's, samba and NT must have the same WINS server, otherwise the trust will never work. I windows 2000 WINS and it took a while before windows machines found the DC of my samba domain. I hope it helps.
