I am running Samba 3.0.2 as a PDC on a Fedora Core 1 machine using openldap
as the password backend. I think I've got all the openldap stuff working. I
can log in, ssh, etc. using ldap accounts.

When I try to join an XP machine to the domain, I get an error on the XP
machine that reads: The following error occurred attempting to join the
domain "TIMBERLINE": The user name could not be found.

When I check the logs, it is clear that the authentication succeeded and


the


script to add a machine account completed successfully. So I can't figure
out what is causing the error.


Any help would be much appreciated!



I found the problem! It turned out to be an ldap problem after all. I had
added the machine account to ou=Computers as detailed in most of the
Samba/LDAP documentation. However, Samba was looking for the machine account
in ou=People.


So I made the necessary change to smbldap_conf.pm, and I was able to join
the domain.

There is probably a way to make ou=Computers work, but I haven't a clue how.


This is actually a well known (to people that read this list for more than a couple weeks) bug in the design of samba. I could swear I got it working once on a linux box without reconfiguring pam_nss, but I could be wrong.
