Hi,
I set up a Samba PDC/BDC configuration some time ago using LDAP as
configured here - http://www.atlanticlinux.ie/blog/?p=25
The configuration has been working without problems for a few months now
but we have noticed one issue. When users take their laptop from the
network the PDC is serving to the networking the BDC is serving - they
sometimes have problems logging in.
A dig through the BDC logs indicates the following error
[2008/12/09 12:02:30, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:_net_auth_2(478)
_net_auth2: creds_server_check failed. Rejecting auth request from
client XXXX machine account XXXX$
Comparing the LDAP records on the PDC and the BDC for system XXXX I see
that the following fields are different
sambaNTPassword: 64AF0BD8913B5BD2F6B92201B2AFD071
sambaPwdLastSet: 1226922777
on the PDC and BDC LDAP servers. It looks like the PDC has a newer
sambaNTPassword than the BDC which would seem to explain the domain
authentication problems.
I'm wondering why only the sambaNTPassword field is not getting
replicated properly though. Is this a known issue with Samba in PDC/BDC
config or do I need to look to OpenLDAP? I'll post some config files if
someone has any input but didn't want to clutter this mail with excess
detail.
Thanks for any comment,
-stephen
