[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#457073: samba: Newer Samba client fails to join Etch Samba PDC

[root]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.24-6etch9
Severity: normal


I experience a problem when trying to join a Linux samba client in a Samba PDC.
The PDC is an Etch will all security packaqges applied.
When trying to join an Etch machine, everything is OK
When trying to join a Lenny machine (Samba 3.0.28 ATM), I get the following error message : 

(etchtest is the name of my machine which is a forme etch system et now a lenny)
etchtest:/var/log/samba# net rpc join -S PDC -U Administrateur
Password:
[2007/12/19 15:53:53, 0] utils/net_rpc_join.c:net_rpc_join_newstyle(304)
  error setting trust account password: NT code 0x1c010002
Unable to join domain GT_DOM.

On the Etch PDC, I get the following log : 

[2007/12/19 14:53:51, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(242)
  get_md4pw: Workstation ETCHTEST$: no account in domain
[2007/12/19 14:53:51, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:_net_auth_2(461)
  _net_auth2: failed to get machine password for account ETCHTEST$: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

This is a PDC with LDAP backend.

The LDAP node associated to the machine seems to be created correctly.

The error occurs by switching form Samba 3.0.24 (etch) to 3.0.28 (current lenny).
But errors have been reported with 3.0.26 also.

Am I missing something (I don't think so as it was working well with 3.0.24 so the config is fine).
Is it a bug related to debian packaging ? to samba itself ?

By the way, Windows machine are joining without problem :-/


Many thanks,
