I tried getting the machine account added to smbpasswd file, but this fails: # smbpasswd -m -n -a <winbox> LDAPS option set...! fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved! ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb LDAPS option set...! fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved! ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb Failed to add entry for user <winbox$>. Failed to modify password entry for user <winbox$> #=20 Is the syntax for adding the account correct here? Thanks again, hope to hear from you again soon.
