I found the error, one of our local department system admin put up a test domain with same name as our TLD name, without asking us at the data center, hmmm… Clients always returned an unknown username or password because it is looking at two same domain names. Whew, its seemles now, back to normal after demoting the test domain controller.
One thing i’ve noticed with 10.4.10, it will return an access denied if you try to join winxp to smb domain right after changing the diradmin password, still not in sync i think. To workaround with this, we stopped the windows service, demote the PDC to standalone, delete /var/db/samba/secrets.tdb, promote smb to PDC using diradmin and new password, then start the windows service. Join again using diradmin and new password, and presto, access denied is gone.. This worked in our case. Hope this could help.
I thought also it was fixed, upon browsing through the other threads here. But i guess I was wrong.. I tried demoting to standalone then promote to PDC, still the same, unknown username or password. Haven’t tried deleting /etc/smb.conf and the contents of /var/samba. How do i use the tdbtool? can you give the exact syntax? thanks Mactroll.
