I have two buffalos. The newer one's interface (TS-XL/R5) provides fields for giving an Domain Admin username and password. I had no trouble adding that to the domain. The older model doesn't provide those fields so I have to try and add them on the samba PDC. It has options for Workgroup, NT Domain and ADS. I know you can hack Buffalo's with acp_commander. I've telneted into the terastation and modified the /etc/samba/smb.conf and changed workgroup to my new domain and security to domain . There is a net binary so I did `net rpc join -S SAMBAPDC`. It says I've joined the domain successfully but the web interface still says I'm in a workgroup (I left the old domain). I know that everything will revert back to once I reboot but I'll have to settle for this for now. What would have been useful, would be to have worked out if there was anything on the sambaPDC that could have corrected this error: _netr_ServerAuthenticate2: netlogon_creds_server_check failed.
