Getting closer. Thank you Daniel Ramaley for your advice below, I now get # net ads join -U myadminaccount "PWR\Mediterranean Coast Network\SAMO\Computers" myadminaccount's password: [2004/06/17 12:36:22, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_add_machine_acct(1006) Host account for inpsamo-debian already exists - modifying old account
and then it hangs. Watching with ethereal it hangs when my host transmits a kpasswd Request (port 464 Kerberos password changing protocol) to one of the domain controllers. kinit still seems to grant a valid ticket for the realm.
