I've set up NT domains from scratch and things work. However, in this
case I vampired the old settings over to my new Samba PDC from a W2K
server which I then removed from the network. Everything almost works,
except ...
The main thing is that I can't seem to change the domain passwords from
the XP Pro workstations. Normally you do Ctrl-Alt-Del and select change
password, then fill in the blanks, hit enter and the password gets
changed. However, when I try, I get a long wait - about 5 minutes - then
"the system cannot change your password now because the domain
RAHIM-DALE is unavailable" (where RAHIM-DALE is my domain name).
This happens on whatever XP Pro workstation I try. I've even tried
removing a domain account and recreating it, but the same thing happens.
If I change the passwords through SWAT, XP sees the new passwords and
stops bugging me to change them.
I looked at the tdb entries using the pdbedit program and can't see
anything wrong. The home directories get mapped properly. However, only
my account, which is in the Domain Admins group, seems to be able to
write to the shares!
Another oddity is that I can't seem to copy a file larger than 2G to the
server.
Any ideas anyone?
BTW: the server is running plain vanilla Debian 3.1 (Sarge) with ReiserFS.
