It's been a long time since I worked with Samba domains but if I recall, isn't there something you have to do with the password of the machine account before you can join? Especially if you are replacing an existing computer that had already been a part of the domain with that machine account. Maybe the easiest thing is to delete the machine account and recreate it? smbpasswd -m ? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
