Hi all, I'm trying to join a samba server to the Active Directory domain as a domain member. However, net ads join <OU> -U <admin> just sits there after this message: [2004/03/30 09:43:49, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_add_machine_acct(1006) Host account for xsfstst1 already exists - modifying old account Any clues? Below is what I have done. Is what I have done correct in what I want to accomplish? Am I missing something? server: solaris 8 compiled and installed openldap 2.1.25 (configure --without-bdb --disable-bdb --enable-null --disable-slapd --disable-slurpd) compiled and installed MIT Kerberos 1.3.2 (configure --without-krb4 --enable-dns --enable-dns-for-kdc --enable-dns-for-realm) compiled and installed Samba 3.0.2a (configure --with-smbwrapper --with-dce-dfs --with-ads --with-smbmount --with-pam --with-acl-support --with-winbind --enable-cups --with-automount) /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf security = ADS realm = DOM1.COMP.COM netbios name = xsfstst1 password server = kdc01.dom1.comp.com encrypt passwords = yes log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m log level = 3 max log size = 100 socket options = TCP_NODELAY wins server = rnumswinsg1.nut.roche.com winbind use default domain = yes /etc/krb5.conf [libdefaults] default_realm = DOM1.COMP.COM dns_lookup_realm = true dns_lookup_kdc = true default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc [realms] DOM1.COMP.COM = { kdc = kdc01.dom1.comp.com kdc = kdc02.dom1.comp.com kpasswd_protocol = SET_CHANGE kpasswd_server = kdc01.dom1.comp.com admin_server = kdc02.dom1.comp.com } [domain_realm] .ux.comp.com = DOM1.COMP.COM ux.comp.com = DOM1.COMP.COM Thanks, Ted --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
