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

[Laurent Hubert]

Hi,

I had similar problem getting the error message

  utils/net_rpc_join.c:net_rpc_join_newstyle(304)
  error setting trust account password: NT code 0x1c010002


While trying to join a domain with ubuntu/gutsy samba member server and
a Debian/Etch samba PDC. From 
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-December/127662.html
this problem comes from a variable definition uses for some of
samba-3.0.2x. (for example 3.0.24)

So, I download debian source for Etch.  Made the change suggested by the
the previous link. Recompiles it  for the PDC, and then install on the
PDC. Bingo! now I already joined two Gutsy workstations on my domain.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I did not  applied  the "patch" function, but made the
change with vim as there is some difference in line numbering between
samba_3.0.24-6etch9 source package and 
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-December/127662.html



That, problem was also reported at various place  and is not limited to
Debian PDC.
