I had precreated the unix account for the machine (hostname$), and added a machine account for it to the tdbsam (via 'smbpasswd -a -m hostname$'), so I didn't think I needed any special privileges for the account joining the domain. But leaving off this for a minute, even if I hadn't, why would I need to give this account any sort of special access? The accounts would be created by child processes of 'smbd', so they should already have root access, correct? -- Jeff Layton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
