Hey all I have been running a samba PDC for a couple of years now off of FreeBSD. Now I am building a gentoo machine to replace the BSD machine, but I have run ito 1 problem.
Samba is running as a PDC and I can connect to it (log in form window clients), however when on the windows end I try to change the password I get the following error:
Code:

The system cannot change your password now because the domain LABNET1 is not available

Oddly enouugh the password is correctly changed and I don't get an error when I use smbpasswd from the gentoo commandline, my windows clients only recieve this error. Any thoughts would be greattly appreciated. I never had this problem with samba on my FreeBSD machine.

Here is my smb.conf
Code:

[global]
   workgroup = LABNET1
   netbios name = LABSRV2
   server string = LABSRV2 running %V

   security = user
   encrypt passwords = yes
   unix password sync = yes
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *\n*
   passwd chat debug = yes
   username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

   log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
   max log size = 50
   log level = 100

   socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
   local master = yes
   os level = 64
   domain master = yes
   preferred master = yes

###5. Domain Control Options###
   domain logons = yes
   logon path =

I noticed
Code:

   passwd chat debug = yes


If password changes normally, have you tried setting debug to no?

Google is my freind...
It looks like I'm doing nothing wrong, its a bug fixed in 3.0.4 caused by am MS security update.

I found thin in the Samba mail archive, and on the Samba home page:
Quote:
There have been several issues fixed since the 3.0.3 release, the most visible of which is the problem with user password changes after applying the Microsoft security hotfix described in KB828741 to Windows NT 4.0/200x/XP clients.
