[Samba] Joining an NT domain using the smbpasswd command

[Hewitt, Tom]

I'm evaluating Linux (Redhat Linux 8.0), with a view to migrating from
Windows but have been having a frustrating few days trying to configure Samba 2.2.5 via the terminal from within the Gnome GUI.

 

I can get Samba to work when it comes to Windows clients using the Linux box as a file server but am having no joy when I attempt to use the smbpasswd command to join an NT domain.

I keep receiving the message - smbpasswd:command not found.

I have rigorously followed the instructions that came with Samba regarding it's installation and still I get this message.

 

Can anyone out there shed some light on this problem for me?

 

Many thanks,

 

Tom
