[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#385372: Bug#385372: Bug#385372: This

[Joe C. K. Yau]

I have finally get it working, without knowing exactly why what I did
before didn't work.  It seems to be a configuration problem, which
fuzzles me a lot.  Basically, my config is as follows:


<=========================v=v=v= Config =v=v=v=========================>

 1>>    [global]
 2>>      workgroup = AlwaysBIG
 3>>      encrypt passwords = false
 4>>      root preexec = /bin/echo %T: CONNECT: service:%S path:%P by %U@%m >> /var/log/samba/log.connection
 5>>      root postexec = /bin/echo %T: DISCONNECT: service:%S path:%P by %U@%m >> /var/log/samba/log.connection
 6>> 
 7>>   [homes]
 8>>     comment = Home Directories
 9>>     browseable = no
10>>     writable = yes
11>>     create mask = 0700
12>>     directory mask = 0700
13>>     valid users = %S

<=========================^=^=^= Config =^=^=^=========================>

The situation is like this:  I have winbindd running, and I have a
smb.conf like the above.  If I keep line 13 ("valid users = %S"),
I wouldn't be able to connect to my home directory.  But if I comment
it out, it will just work fine.  Please note that I am using plaintext
password here.  Is that the cause??

Please also note that line 4 and 5 above are just for some extra
logging.  I had this in my configuration with older version of
Samba and it worked fine.  But now, nothing is logged down.
Any clue??

Also, whenever, I do "wbinfo -t", I get the following error message
(with or without the "valid users" line in smb.conf):

  checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed
  error code was NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND (0xc0000233)
  Could not check secret


I also tried to turn on the debug level to 3 (as advised), but the
log messages is just too massive, and I don't intent to include it
here.

Any clue??  Thx!
