Samba-3 works the same way as Samba-2.2 did. The machine account is created by calling out the appropriate script. On Samba-2.2 the "add user script" was called for machine accounts. On Samba-3 this is done by the "add machine script". In neither case is it necessary to create the machine account before joining - so long as the script is correctly configured. - John T. > > Jim > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Ashutosh Kamdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 2:25 PM > > To: Van Sickler, Jim; 'Ashutosh Kamdar'; samba@lists.samba.org > > Subject: Re: [Samba] Unable to join samba server to a NT4 style domain > > > > > > Jim, > > > > I have Samba shut down while executing the net rpc join > > commands, as the HOW-TO says. > > > > On trying the following, > > > > # ./net rpc join -S NTSERVER > > Password: > > > > This is the response I get, > > > > Could not connect to server NTSERVER > > The username or password was not correct. > > > > The password used was that of the administrator authorized to > > add machines to the domain.
