1) You did create a machine account (for an NT Workstation or Server) using the Server Manager on the NT4 Domain? Joining the domain will NOT work unless you do. 2) Try: smbpasswd -j lister -r cat -Uadministrator and when prompted type in the domain administrator password. 3) Make sure that the "wins server = 172.16.10.70" points to a machine other than your samba server. ie: I guess this is your one of your NT domain controllers? 4) Last point: Make sure that samba is NOT running when you try to join the domain, you can safely start it AFTER it has joined the domain. - John T. > Have a problem connecting Samba 2.2.7 on Redhat Linux 7.2 to a Win NT 4 > PDC.
