it's a bug in rc1 already fixed in the svn and in the final 3.0.11.

David,

Get rid of the "Administrator" account. Use the "root" account instead. You have ambiguous names that can NOT unambiguously resolve to one identity.

ie: Is uid=0 root or is it Administrator?
    Does uid=0 map to the Administrator SID or to some other SID?

Also, use:
        net rpc join -S 'PDC_Name' -Uroot%secret

PS: It is best to populate your LDAP directory using:
"smbldap-populate -a root", not just the default which creates an "Administrator" account.

net rpc join

Create of workstation account failed
User specified does not have administrator privileges
Unable to join domain BOB


I'm logged in as root. I setup ldap using the Idealx instructions and latest scripts. I can add users and see the samba server ie smbclient -L bob -Uroot%secret I set the password for the Administrator account and it is also set uid 0. I set the secrets.tdb password smbpasswd -w secret. I also have a ldap-secret file. I checked the SID for net getlocalsid to the SID's in the ldap database, all matched up. I tried running net rpc join -Uadministrator%secret For simplicity all the passwords I set are the same "secret".

Could someone please explain what the command;

 net rpc join

is trying to authenticate?  Why can't it create a "workstations account"?
What "administrator privileges" is it looking for?

I am able to join the domain if I don't use the ldap backend.
What's the magic setting for ldap?

Thanks,

David Mongan
