smbpasswd cannot add machineaccounts/useraccounts keywords : smbpasswd samba xp domain join samba3 machine trust # smbpasswd -a -m mycomputer Failed to modify password entry for user mycomputer$ a possible solution is that the computer/user does not exist in the systems password-backend yet. As stated in the smbpasswd-manpage: Note that the default passdb backends require the user to already exist in the system password file (usually /etc/passwd), else the request to add the user will fail. so the solution is: create the machineaccount (dont forget the trailing $) or the useraccount first by adding it to /etc/passwd or run adduser serial : 458 If you found any nonsense in this entry or want to see important improvements, I would appreatiate to receive your comments at knowledge@goldfisch.at disclaimer : all these entries are part of my very private knowledgebase that I created while solving problems.
