How should the NT admin add the machine (samba server) and how is the password generated?
I read something about when a NT domain admin uses the Server Manager for Domains to add a client machine into a domain, he or she really creates a client machine account in the PDC SAM database. The name of the this account is the NETBIOS name of the client machine being added, in uppercase with a dollar sign ($) appended. These machine accounts are not normally seen the standard NT account management tool, User Manager for Domains, but they are vital to the workings of the NT domain security system.
Thank You,

I have installed samba and now I am trying to join the domain using the command:
./smbpasswd -j CINCOM -r KIRK
I get the following error:
error connecting to 10.1.1.51:139 (Connection refused)
modify_trust_password: unable to connect to SMB server on machine KIRK. Error was : code 0.
2002/10/24 11:12:34 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password for domain CINCOM.
I had the NT admin remove the machine from the PDC and readd it - I get the same error message.
