1st of all i assume you are joining a domain? since my info below doesnt
really apply to a workgroup. get to the bit where is allows to to change
machinename/workgroup and instead of entering the server in workgroup,
enter it in Domain.
2nd of all are you adding the machine into the /etc/passwd file? eg.
m6-1$:x:60101:107:Domain account for M6-1:/dev/null:/bin/false
before you are trying to add them?
I had this problem. When it prompted me for the Username/Password
i was putting in Administrator and its password. I was half right...
create root a smb account, "smbpasswd -a root PASSWORD", where
PASSWORD
is your prefered password (note i made mine different to the unix root
password, so if someone did get hold of the smbpasswd i wouldnt be up the
creak without a paddle)
then when it prompts you to put in username password, put in root /
password. it should work fine after that. The only thing i will say is
that it was weird and seemed to take a random time to join the domain.
some took 5 seconds
some took 20-40 seconds
one even took 2 minutes. Not sure why (anyone shead any light on this?)
Hope this helps.
