Not a networking question. Moved to Linux - Server.

Hi,

I could able to see the machine password in secrets.tdb is in different offset, where as it looks in different offset. So this fails with get_trust_pw_clear: could not fetch clear text trust account password for domain <mydomain>. I am trying with other old samba releases also, but all gives this error. Any idea would be appreciated.

Thanks
