Hello.
I have readed in several places people writing something like that when
setting up a PDC:
now you need to join it to the domain:
net rpc join -Uadminuser%adminpass
One of them is the article "Configuration with the net utility, part 2",
by John Terpstra
http://searchopensource.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid39_gci1155693,00.html
(I dont have sure if to read searchopensource someone needs to register)
I didnt found any explanation on WHY this is needed. It is really needed?
So, reading "Samba by Example" I found something else at Chapter 5,
Procedure 5.8, Step 21:
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2544570
...
The next step might seem a little odd at this point, but take note that
you are about to start *winbindd*, which must be able to authenticate to
the PDC via the localhost interface with the *smbd* process. This
account can be easily created by joining the PDC to the domain by
executing the following command:
|root# | net rpc join -S MASSIVE -U root%not24get
...
Have it something to do with that? Its only needed when using winbind?
And in that case why winbind is beeing used?
Regards.
