The following error occurred attempting to join the domain 'mydomain': Logon failure: unknown username or password or bad password" I get this since switching over to ldap for samba(everything else seems to work). I have no administrator user, and root only exist in files, not ldap. add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w %m is in my smb.conf Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-4070452498-3149834983-2923667569-512) -> ntadmin that's in net groupmap list, so shouldn't any user that is a member of ntadmin be able to add computers to domain? apparently not, because neither they nor root user can, but they get that aforementioned error. any help appreciated, thanks! _______________________________________________ No banners.
