After digging through the archives and not finding anything...(some close but no cigars.) I'm running FreeBSD 5.1 with samba 3.0.0,1, krb5-1.3.1, when I try to net ads join I get the following error: somebox:~ # net ads join SOMEDOMAIN -S pdc.somedomain.com -U anadmin anadmin password: [2003/12/30 12:56:52, 0] libads/kerberos.c:ads_kinit_password(133) kerberos_kinit_password anadmin@SOMEDOMAIN.COM failed: Unknown error: -1765328228 I can join via RPC but all ADS commands fail with the same message. RPC calls all fail when scripted...but don't produce any capturable output. In fact exit status is usually 0, but the output is NULL.
