On the line "smbpasswd -a -m machine_name$" I thought that smbpasswd tacked on the $ at the end if you use the "-m" option. Therefore, to add a machine account, you should do "smbpasswd -a -m machine_name" without the $ sign. Maybe it doesn't care, but this is the only thing that I can see a little out of place. --Nick "mitchbnj_removethis@excite.com" wrote:> There is OBVIOUSLY something wrong somewhere. > EITHER a WHOLE bunch of us are stupider than we thought, the > documentation left off a step, or there is something SO blatently > obvious that we are ALL staring it in the face and missing it inches > in front of our faces. > > This is exactly what I've had, (BUT I *D*I*D* have it running ok ...) > and I STILL havent figured it out yet,... > > Subject: [Samba] join domain problem with Samba 3.0 alpha18 > > ..snip...

There is OBVIOUSLY something wrong somewhere.
EITHER a WHOLE bunch of us are stupider than we thought, the documentation left
off a step, or there is something SO blatently obvious that we are ALL staring
it in the face and missing it inches in front of our faces.
This is exactly what I've had, (BUT I *D*I*D* have it running ok ...)

Mine was Samba 2.2.3, and then 2.2.5
To me this means we are ALL screwing something so basic up, that we're
skipping over it.
More info: in my config (and I posted my machine/smbd/nmbd logs earlier) as well
as in my messages/and other logs
I didnt see anything.

I have found the workaround for this issue, naturally looking for the logs with the debuglevel=5. It seems that the samba 3.0 search not only the machine_name$ account , but also domain_name\machine_name$. So you should add this domain\machine$ account in the sam database using the useradd and smbpasswd, pay attention to not include the $ when use smbpasswd. Another adjustment to do is in smb.conf, put "passdb backend = smbpasswd", and try to run it. Cheers!
