UNIX
- add an account for the machine in /etc/passwd ended by a '$' like 'machine$'
- add this machine account to the smbpasswd file with smbpasswd -am machine. The '$' is added by the smbpasswd.
W2K WS
- on the desktop: "My Computer/Properties/Network Id./Properties/Member of" clik on domain and enter the domain name. Enter the root account and password then you have a welcome message from the PDC
Warning:
You cannot change the machine name and join the domain in the same operation. You must 1) change the machine name 2) reboot 3)join the domain.
I experienced troubles (not solved yet) while joining a domain with a W2K server.
I hope this can help you.
