samba - Aug 2003 - UNSOLVED: Win2K clients and Samba PDC

Hi. Im trying to join win2k clients to a samba pdc, but im having problems...
Firstly i create the machine account manually from the samba pdc. the, when
i add the client from windows, it asks me for the name and the password
of an admin user. I enter it and then, the message of " welcome to the ***
domain" appears. I restart the machine, but then, when i try to logon
against
the domain, i get an error like this:
"The trust relationship between this workstation and the domain controller
failed"
(the message may change a little, because im using a spanish version of
windows)
Some details:
PDC OS system: redhat 9.0
Samba Version: 2.2.7
Client OS: Win 2000 (spanish) SP 3

Samba is in user security level, with encryption = yes

I ve already joined win98 clients with no problems. but i cant do it with
the ones with win 2k. does anyone knows how to solve it?

Sorry the thread is broken, I  just joined the list.

I had the same problem. I got it to go away by recreating my machine 
accounts and groups. Here are the commands I used:

#This only has to be done once. I used group machines for my accounts.
groupadd -g 300 machines

#For each machine (pclab1 is the name of the machine I am adding)
useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -c pclab1 -s /bin/false pclab1$
passwd -l pclab1$
smbpasswd -a -m pclab1

The first time I tried setting the accounts up by hand editing the files. 
That did not work so I went this route which I found in an IBM tutorial. It 
worked the first time.

Here is the link that helped the most. You have to register, buts its free.

the Using Samba as PDC link.


Hope this helps
