  • SAMBATEST$HOSTNAME errors.

    So, it has been 12 years since this post and others yet we still have this problem today.... Was there 'reasonable' solution?
    I am assuming there was one as the posts, so far,have been all from 2005 or earlier. We have this with AIX 7.1 servers, from Linux SLED 11.2 systems. Don;t know if our NA domain servers are 10 years old, but I seriously doubt it. So, why do we still
    have this?

    We see more on this at:

    http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/System-Administration/sambatest-HOSTNAME/m-p/3295371#M182906

    But no real solution there either.

    Hello,

    I have one simple "problem".

    We are using several samba servers for file and print sharing in different locations.

    On my W2K PDC I'm getting this error:

    Here is the smb.conf on one server (all are in the same way):

    ##################################################

    # Global parameters
    [global]
    netbios name = STELAM
    security = SERVER

    [share2]
    comment = share2

    write list = user1,root
    guest ok = Yes



    [share3]
    comment = share3

    path = /disk2/share/share3

    write list = user1,root
    guest ok = Yes
    ##################################################

    I'm using guest access, except for one some users which can update the
    share.

    Domain controller is Windows 2000 server in mixed mode.

    On the client side we are using Win98se and W2K Pro SP3.

    Samba version is 2.2.3a on Suse Linux 8.0 pro.

    Everything seems to work fine, except of this error in the event log of my PDC.

    Any help is appreciated.
