You probably think I'm nuts for pounding this so far into the ground, but I just can't take things just hanging like this....
With that said, I've found some consistency between what you are seeing and what I was seeing. First, I was able to get your RPM to work when I join a new (i.e., never been in the domain before) machine to my domain. This is something that I didn't try yesterday. I can also get just about any machine in my shop to join the domain using your RPM as is IF I change the netbios name of these machines prior to bring them into the domain. In other words, they are currently in a domain with hostname x. I pull them out of the domain and into workgroup test and change the netbios to y. I then rejoin them to the domain under netbios name y. Works without fail.... Furhter, when I look at the level10 samba log files, everything looks cool as far as samba is concerned. Keep in mind that I hadn't tried any of this yesterday when I first tackled this. Second, I CANNOT get these same machines to rejoin the domain using the original netbios names. For example, I pull machine FRANK out of the domain by putting it in workgroup TEST. I then get on my SME server and delete the machine account entries from /etc/passwd, /etc/smbpasswd, and /home/e-smith/account. When I try to rejoin FRANK back into the domain, I get the error message as indicated in my previous email. Also, the level10 samba log files spits out several error messages on trying to initiate the smb_client_add process.... Third, if I switch the add user script samba parameter and create-machine-account perl script to those that I emailed you yesterday, I can join both new machines (i.e., never been in the domain) and old ones (i.e., been in the domain at one time) to the domain without any issues. On viewing the Samba log files, no error messages can be found. I'm still scratching my head as to what's causing this, but it has to have something to do with the handshaking during the add user script process. When an attempt is made to rejoin an old machine, Samba doesn't like what it's being told.. OK, that's my 2 cents (well maybe a little more than 2 cents :o) ). Have a good one Greg Greg J.
