samba - Jul 2002 - Cannot join Win2k with Samba+LDAP PDC

I cannot join a Win2k machine to the Samba LDAP PDC. Have added a root 
account in ldap added the machine in /etc/passwd and added the machine 
via smbpasswd but to no avail. I have turned up logging to level 3 and 
can't find anything. Below are the following errors.:

On Win2k PC : Logon Failure: unknown user or bad password

Samba LDAP PDC: Jul  2 14:54:24 devel smbd[19074]:   No user to modify!


Please help. (pleeeease)

did you set the password with >>smbpasswd -w PASSWORD -D
uid=root,dc=TEST,dc=NET<< ? you need the root password to bind stored in
secrets.tdb. after this, set the password stored in the dit
with
>>smbpasswd root<< .

why in /etc/passwd and not in the directory-tree (dit)?
make an entry for the ws in the dit and set the passwd with >>smbpasswd -m
-
a CLIENTNAME$<<.

it should work now, but only if your pam.d files and nsswitch.conf where
modified correctly!
nsswitch.conf can you test with >>getent passwd<<. if you get
entries
from /etc/passwd and the dit your nsswitch.conf is configured correctly

i hope i could help

I have a similar problem.  What I've noticed is that the "add user 
script" is not being executed such that I can add a machine 
automagically.  I can use the script from the command line with no 
problem. I have also tried doing a test by createing a simple script to 
see if it gets executed, but no dice.  It is not being executed at all, 
ever by Samba as far as I can tell.  If I execute the script from the 
command line and then try and join the domain I have no trouble.

hAAaaAAAaaaAaaalp! ;-)
