I joined an Ubuntu 9.10 machine to an active directory domain (not sure I'm using the terms right) by following these instructions pretty closely:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/Kerberos https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto Basically, you set up kerberos, samba, winbind, and pam, and then join the domain with 'net ads join'. It all seems to work surprisingly well. I wanted to create a local user on the machine, so I ran sudo adduser $username. It got started after typing my password for sudo (sudo access is not the problem) it asked for "Current Kerberos password:" I typed in the only password I knew associated with my current user and it didn't seem happy. It created the local user, but never prompted for a password for said user. In /etc/shadow it just has a '!' in the password field. I became that user and typed passwd and got the same kerberos prompt and was not able to change that user's password. Google isn't helping me much with this.
