you need to make a machine account (that is what the username/password allows) There is a utility called smbldap-tools which has a user add script that can be called transparently when trying to join a computer to the domain. This script creates the machine account (machinename$). You could create them by hand but that becomes a bit more laborious. When it asks you for an authorized user/password you can simply use root/password or if you have domain admin group defined, any of those users will let allow the script to execute and create the machine account. > -- > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
