Then did following:
service smb stop ; service winbind stop ; rm -f /var/cache/samba/wins.dat ; service smb start ; service winbind start
Same problem
I looked at the log file for one of the computers that won't join the domain. It says the following:
cat /var/log/samba/log.ron_laptop
[2004/11/30 11:25:24, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_add_sam_account(1870)
ldapsam_add_sam_account: failed to modify/add user with uid = ron_laptop$ (dn = uid=ron_laptop$,ou=Computers,dc=twinoakschurch,dc=org)
[2004/11/30 11:25:24, 0] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_create_user(2277)
could not add user/computer ron_laptop$ to passdb. Check permissions?
Any ideas?
To summarize, we can't change user passwords at the workstations & several PCs won't attach to the domain.

Remove the 'pam password change' option along with the 'remote announce'. Also take out the 'password chat' option - it's not needed with ldapsam.
It sounds like maybe your clients don't realize your PDC is also a WINS server. Is that info added to DHCPd? If not, are the clients configured to use it as a WINS server manually?
Also, I still stand by the wins.dat fix. It seems like the wins file is corrupted. Try it again after everyone has left for the day.
One more thing, run your config through testparm to make sure there are no
errors. Then catch the output of the testparm -s into a new smb.conf file. This way the conf file is optimised and the errors are removed.
I usually make all my changes to smb.conf.master, then do testparm -s smb.conf.master > smb.conf.
Also, please do not contact me directly - only through the newsgroup posting.

Thanks but that didn't solve the problem, matter of fact things have gotten a little worse since I first wrote. None of the XP boxes will join the TOPC domain, boxes that have already joined aren't having the problem, just new joins seem to be giving us trouble.
I'll wait until end of day when everyone is off system & try the wins.dat delete trick again, I've also added a couple lines that may make a difference with regard to the password change issue: pam password change = yes &the browsing issue: remote announce = 192.168.70.255 local master = Yes
Thanks again, it's really helpful having someone that knows what they are doing help out.

While it looks wrong, it is correct. It means the subnet at thatinterface,
so you're OK there.
What you're experiencing is bad entries in the WINS.DAT file. You should stop smbd and nmbd, delete the wins.dat file (/usr/local/samba/var/locks/wins.dat), then restart smbd and nmbd. That should fix your problem.

Shouldn't the second line read 192.168.70.0 ?
