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

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 :)
