Aha! Good point there pinging the domain. "host example.local" resolves it but "ping example.local" doesn't. The problem may be somewhere else. I have the following in my /etc/resolv.conf:
<snip> domain example.local search example.local nameserver 192.168.7.1 nameserver 192.168.7.254 </snip> "host example.local" resolves to the following: <snip> example.local has address 192.168.7.1 example.local has address 192.168.8.5 example.local has address 192.168.9.5 example.local mail is handled by 10 mail.example.local. </snip> out of these, 192.168.8.5 and 192.168.9.5 are unreachable since they're on a different subnet. I can successfully get a TGT with kinit. As for smb.conf, I have the required minimum: <snip> workgroup = EXAMPLE realm = EXAMPLE.LOCAL security = ads </snip> What's curious though is that I have a Fedora 12 box on the same subnet with the same configuration that can resolve and ping the domain with no problem. It has no problem finding the domain controller and joining the domain. Thanks. -- Cannot find domain controller when joining a domain https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
