Not a problem, since I was reading it carefully when first implementing rpc_trustdom_establish(). Therefore, I might know something more. I see it is about oldstyle/newstyle functions and so: oldstyle - does machine join using already created trust account with initial password set as lowercased machine name newstyle - does it by creating trust account first and then performing the join itself. Hence the need of username/password of administrator account That's the first and major difference. -- cheers, +------------------------------------------------------------+ |Rafal 'Mimir' Szczesniak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | |*BSD, GNU/Linux and Samba / |__________________________________________________________/
