Package: samba-common Version: 2:3.2.3-1 With winbind and samba-common installed, attempts to join AD failed with: "Failed to open /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb" and "error storing domain sid for XXXXXX".
The underlying problem appears to be that /var/lib/samba/ had not been created: fubar:/var/lib# ls -l total 52 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-09-18 14:41 apt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-18 14:41 aptitude drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-17 14:33 dhcp3 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2008-09-17 14:39 dpkg drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-17 14:34 initramfs-tools drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-08-13 00:09 initscripts drwxrwsr-x 2 libuuid libuuid 4096 2008-09-17 14:33 libuuid drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-04-09 08:16 logrotate drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-08-06 02:17 misc drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-09-17 14:39 ucf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-18 13:52 urandom drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-17 14:34 usbutils drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-09-17 14:33 vim Creating it: fubar:/var/lib# mkdir samba fubar:/var/lib# ls -ld samba/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-18 14:45 samba/ allowed a "net rpc join ...." to work. Should installation of these packages have caused /var/lib/samba/ to have been created? Thanks, Neale. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
