samba - Jan 2003 - Having problems getting RH72 Samba to join a W2K Domain

I actually did it successfully on a test network 
(the Win2K is mixed-mode), but when I took the same Samba server
and plugged it into the real network, I could't get
"smbpasswd -j bottlerocket.com" to fly.

Now realize when I did this in a test network, I set up a dummy Win2K DC
for this same domain, same IP address, etc.  So I think something has
a conflicting, duplicate entry.  I must need to delete a file or two,
just not sure which ones. I did delete the something.tdb file (I can't
remember the name, and I don't have access to the box from here), but it
keeps coming back.

Here is the error:

cli_net_req_chal: error NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME
cli_nt_setup_creds: request challange failed
modify_trust_passwd: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine
192.168.2.159.  Error was: NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME
change_trust_account_password:failed to change password for domain
Bottlerocket.com
unable to join domain bottlerocket.com

Any ideas?

smb.conf:
[global]
	password server = 192.168.2.159
	workgroup = bottlerocket.com
	remote announce = 192.168.2.159
	security = domain
	encrypt passwords = yes
	preferred master = no

[homes]
	writeable = yes


Samba is 2.2.1a-4


TIA

give the netbios name of the domain instead.

You might also want to specify the netbios name is to avoid
things like "SAMBA.BOTTLEROC" (first 15 characters of 
samba.bottlerocket.com)
