I am having a problem adding a fresh samba installation to a win2k domain, the config file used was successfully used to add one machine but not the machine I really want to add, here is the output from the command 'smbpasswd -D 10 -j <mydomain> -r <my win2k pdc>', using sa,ba 2.2.0 solaris 7 binary package distribution. bash-2.03# ./bin/smbpasswd -D 10 -j wileyuk -r chfile01 added interface ip=172.20.1.247 bcast=172.20.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 <cut here a LOT of do_dirrand: value from file /dev/<device> > resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name CHFILE01<0x20> startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts. Error was No such file or directory resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name CHFILE01<0x20> Connecting to 172.20.0.93 at port 139 error connecting to 172.20.0.93:139 (Connection refused) modify_trust_password: unable to connect to SMB server on machine CHFILE01. Error was : code 0. 2001/10/15 10:27:48 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password for domain WILEYUK. Unable to join domain WILEYUK. I've had a look around the web, but normally its when some trivial error has been made, but as I said, I've using the same config file to add another machine to the domain. Thanks in advance for any help. Sean Timmins Systems Administrator John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
