For win2k/xp, you need: - -to be logged in to the machine as a user with administrative rights to change domain membership (not necessarily "Administrator"). - -to join the domain as a user with rights to change the machine's trust account password. This means either you must use the root account (and the root smbpasswd, but it can differ from root's unix password of course), or if you are using LDAP you can set it up so that members of the "domain admin group" can do so using their samba password. > Just like adding a the trusted account via console on the linux-machine ? Only with Windows NT4 clients.
