I realise that. I *did* give a 2nd example in my original post: $sudo smbclient -P -L //sbs ERROR: Unable to fetch machine password "net ads testjoin" returns an OK result at my end & the PDC shows the machine as joined to the domain at the other. What I don't seem to be able to find out is just how the Windows PDC & Samba interact to ensure that the Samba machine is a [trusted?] member of the domain & therefore how to use that fact to allow machine-level shares without having to perform a user-level login.
