Re: FN-FORUM: Linux Samba problem

Has this got fixed John? Is/was the Samba box a member of the AD? I've not
done this myself but I recall reading something about a Samba box needing to
run Winbind to to do the loggin in to the AD to do authentication via the
2K3 AD. When you rebuilt the 2K3 DC I guess the Domain's SID will have
changed and the Samba box has possibly still got the old SID. If that's true
it will need to be re-joined to the domain to get the security to work
again - even though the actual domain name you are using is probably the
same. What's probably happening is that the Samba box is recieving the new
user credentials (newSID/john/passwd) and looking to validate that with the
DC but failing because its got the old SID. The DC is probably saying "sod
off - bad SID - not a member of my domain." I hope that makes some sense and
not barking up the wrong tree - or just simply barking! (mad)
