Got a Samba PDC running on a private switch, and while the user accounts authenticate correctly, and while I can add machines to the domain, existing machine trust accounts are not being recognized.
Raised the log level from 0 to 10 in smb.conf. In the detailed logs, it looks like password check-confirm dialogs between the server and workstation aren't allways checking right
Some things we're suspecting:
...and when I started troubleshooting all this, I noticed that I couldn't grep the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file- it said it was a binary file. Careful examination of the file show a bunch of null charachters showing up around lines 400 and 800. This file was orginally created on ntfs filesystem with the pwdump2 utillity.
So right now, I'm investigated other SAM -> smbpasswd conversion utilities.

Some things we're suspecting:
- Oops. Forgot to migrate the SID of the domain. Checked out the smbpasswd -W option. But it still doesn't work.
- the SAM entries created by pwdump2.exe utility look different than those created by the smbd.
- the machine trust records are in uppercase from the dump, lowercase from the smbd
- the password hashes are in lowercase from the dump, upper from the smbd
the smbd records have the ...[W ]
field filled in.
