You never mentioned that you couldn't join the domain. You should get a "Welcome to the <Domain> Domain" message if it worked. I now assume you didn't get one. Please remember, the more information you give about your problem, the easier it is for other people to help you. > > I partially fixed it mapping the guest user on root but this's not what > security manuals suggest ;-) > > Hope someone can clarify me now... > > bye by(t)e[s]....TuX! Can you connect normally to the server as root? $ smbclient -L <server_name> -U root (you can try this on the server itself). If not, you need to add an smbpasswd for root. As root, do: # smbpasswd -a Then try it again. If it works, you should now be able to join the domain.
