The command in HOWTO reads "net rpc join -S PDC -U Administrator" -S means server which obviously must fail unless my server is named 'PDC'. My server is not named PDC, my server is named oberon, and there it fails :) There is nothing said about I should replace 'PDC' with the servername. Instead there is said I should replace DOMAIN with my domainname, which pattern doesn't occur in the example command, so that this replacement is effectively a NOP. > > Actually, it asks the remote machine (the -S PDC) what it's domain name > is, and joins that. If you don't specify -S, it will join the PDC of > the domain in smb.conf. If you specify -w DOMAIN, it will join that > domain (agian, by finding the PDC). The HOWTO is obviously botched. What I suggest is to fix it in either of these ways: 1) Replace 'replace DOMAIN with ...' with 'replace PDC with name of your PDC machine' 2) change the HOWTO line 'net rpc join -S PDC -U Administrator' to 'net rpc join -U Administrator' 3) change the HOWTO line 'net rpc join -S PDC -U Administrator' to 'net rpc join PDC -U Administrator' 4) change the HOWTO line 'net rpc join -S PDC -U Administrator' to 'net rpc join -w DOMAIN -U Administrator' Thank you for your hint. Now, even wbinfo -u works for me :) Cl< > > Andrew Bartlett > > -- > Andrew Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Student Network Administrator, Hawker College [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
