I have added a machine account to /etc/passwd named luna$ and in smbpasswd named luna. When I attempt to join my Win2K box to the domain, I get this error. The following error occured attempting to join the domain: The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server. I am using openldap if that makes any difference. Jim

(read the help, and then add an account as with useradd, but ensure you make a machine account).

I have just joined this list and I am sure this question may have been answered earlier. I am a newbie in Linux but with strong redmond skills, the reason I am here is that I want to migrate to Linux. I just setup a linux server with one workstation, win 98 and I am connecting both with a crossed cable. I want to use Linux as a PDC to serve the one client of win 98 and have already installed samba and SMB service is running well. I can also ping the workstation and the workstation can ping the linux server. I have configured the smb.conf well but and also set win 98 to plaintext but I get the error message that the domain password you supplied is not corrcet, or access to your logon server has been denied. Any ideas?
