Hi Oliver, My opinion is that try delleting the machine name using the 'control center' and delete the machine account in the passwd file. Then add the machine name again using "control center, edit & creat users ", then In console add the machine using: # smbpasswd -a -m <machinename>. Note i managed to do this on SuSE 8.1. Please send me an email if u're thru Rgds, Segie. ---------- Forwarded Message ----------
Subject: [Samba] machine account with strange behaviour Date: 11 Feb 2004 08:59:53 UT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm running samba-3.0.1-2 on a redhat machine. it acts as a pdc for our domain. clients are w2k machines. when administering the w2k boxes via the mmc one of the machine accounts shows up in the domain users list. it is shown together with it's ending "$". I removed the machine from the domain and added it back however the effect stays. Additionally it is *sometimes* not possible to map drives to shares on that machine. Users receive a message that "no error message was found" or sometimes that an "unknown internal windows 2000 error" has occured. The machine account was created manually just the same way all the others were made. It's line in /etc/passwd is completely unsuspicous. Any help would be appreciated! best regards, Oliver -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba ------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
