Ah, thatÂ’s done it.
The uid's didn't match.
All is working now.
Thanks

Subject: Re: [Samba] Joining WinXp to Samba PDC
Looks like the same problem as i had a feww moments ago.
i tried to rejoin my domain, but received the same errors
as you did.
the problem was the machine account for my workstation.
1. check if the machine account exists ($) as
unix user. -> /etc/passwd
2. check if the samba machine account exists.
-> /etc/samba/smbpasswd
3. if both exist, check for the uid, should be the same.
4. check if another account exists, with the same id
-> /etc/samba/smbpasswd
5. if yes, remove the duplicate id. (be sure not to remove
a valid user!)
-> /etc/samba/smbpasswd
smbpasswd -x
6. try again.
7. if it doesn't work remove both (unix+samba) accounts and
recreate them with the following script:
#!/bin/bash
#script creates an machine account
#the group "machines" must exist
adduser -g machines -s /bin/false -c "NT Machine Account" "$1\$"
smbpasswd -m -a "$1\$"
8. try again.
hope this helps,
Joachim.
