Have you created a machine trust account ? thats the username its not happy about..

if you man smbpasswd (if your using tdbsam or smbpasswd as your backend) you will see the option -m thus smbpasswd -a -m testmachine$ (dont forget the $) will add the machine account testmachine for you to join the domain

hope that helps

Kind Regards,

I have done all I can think of to make Samba be a PDC, but I can't get my Windows XP-SP2 client to join the domain. I've already edited the Group Policy for the roaming profile thingumyjig. I am asked for the user/pass (I
use root) to add the machine to the domain, and the error is:

"The user name could not be found".

Here's my smb.conf, and group information.

=================
[global]
        workgroup = SAMBA-DOMAIN
        netbios name = SAMBA
        server string = KJN Server
        smb ports = 139
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        load printers = No
        show add printer wizard = No
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 65
        preferred master = Yes
        domain master = Yes
        ldap ssl = no

[netlogon]
        path = /export/netlogon
        browseable = No

[profiles]
        path = /export/profiles
        read only = No
=================
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-1171369666-3077905698-890339982-512) -> wheel
Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-1171369666-3077905698-890339982-514) -> nobody
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-82349369-3985415093-3734604251-513) -> users
=================

Obviously root is a member of wheel, so I would have thought this would
allow me to join XP to the domain. root is also defined in
/etc/samba/smbpasswd, with the same password as the system root user.

There seems to be a lot of info on Samba 2.x and PDC, but not Samba 3. Does
anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks,
Steve :)
