Hi Andrew,
Thanks for getting back to me.
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$>.
Failed to modify password entry for user <winbox$>
#
Is the syntax for adding the account correct here? Thanks again, hope to
hear from you again soon.
Stacey

Do you enable NBT on adapter? It seems that win2k box attempt to use dns not wins for resolving names. The standard way to add machine account is to use join to domain function from windows box because if you manual add this account windows box doesn't know what is the password for account.

Have you added machine accounts to the FreeBSD box for the client boxes?
You need machine accounts that look like clientname$ (dollar sign at end) added both as local accounts and then again with smbpasswd passing whatever the appropriate switch is to create a machine account.
I have a FreeBSD box here acting as a PDC so we should be able to find the problem.
Andrew.
