I have UNIX accounts and NT accounts. We do not use the smbpasswd file
because our password server in our smb.conf is set to our NT server.
Someone suggested creating an smbpasswd file so I did and put one test
user in it. It worked but we will only use it as a temporary solution
as we want do not want to manage a separate smbpasswd file. That's why
we have our NT server as our password server so we can avoid it. Thanks
for your help.

I have an emergency and am at the end of my resources and hope you can
help.
I'm a samba newbie and hope you can point me to an answer.
Our Samba2.0.5 server is a Sun Enterprise 450 (Solaris 7). Our PDC
is an NT machine called warrior. The warrior is the smbpasswd server
and the domain is CSDEPARTMENT.
We've been running samba for the past 2 years with no problem. Now we
are seeing a problem with new users in the CSDEPARTMENT domain when a
user tries to log in from their PC to our samba server:
[2002/11/15 07:53:51, 0] smbd/password.c:(1470)
domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user velazque
in
domain CSDEPARTMENT to Domain controller WARRIOR. Error was code 0.
[2002/11/15 07:53:51, 1] smbd/password.c:(500)
Couldn't find user 'velazque' in smb_passwd file.
[2002/11/15 07:53:51, 1] smbd/password.c:(500)
Couldn't find user 'velazque' in smb_passwd file.
[2002/11/15 07:53:51, 1] smbd/reply.c:(925)
Rejecting user 'velazque': authentication failed
[2002/11/15 07:53:51, 1] smbd/server.c:(641)
smbd version 2.0.7 started.
I don't know what is causing this. I reviewed my smb.conf file using the
Samba Unleashed book and according to the book, it's correct.
I thought maybe the problem was with the PDC credentials so I tried this:
#/opt/samba/bin/smbpasswd -j CSDEPARTMENT -r warrior
cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine
WARRIOR. Error was : NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
2002/11/15 09:34:55 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change
password for domain CSDEPARTMENT.
Unable to join domain CSDEPARTMENT.
Could this be why I'm having the user validation problem? BTW, we do have
an /etc/opt/samba/private directory with some old files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40 Aug 17 2000 MACHINE.SID
-rw--- 1 root root 127 Apr 30 2001 smbpasswd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 25 Aug 18 2000 smbpasswd.junk
Please help
