Hello all, I'm not too sure we're having an ADS issue or not. Perhaps someone could shed some light on this for us? Here's what we're seeing during a net join: 14:32 myhost<42> sudo ./net join -S domaincontroller -U admin_user Admin_user password: [2004/05/05 14:33:39, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_add_machine_acct(1006) Host account for myhost already exists - modifying old account [2004/05/05 14:33:39, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_join_realm(1342) ads_add_machine_acct: No such object ads_join_realm: No such object ADS join did not work, falling back to RPC... Joined domain MYDOMAIN. But, it seems that samba is up and running on our domain without issue. I've been able to read/write etc. to the share on this host without problem. Just in case it helps, below is the output of net status. 14:33 myhost<43> ./net ADS STATUS -U admin_user Admin_user password: accountExpires: 9223372036854775807 badPasswordTime: 0 badPwdCount: 0 codePage: 0 cn: MYHOST countryCode: 0 instanceType: 4 isCriticalSystemObject: FALSE lastLogoff: 0 lastLogon: 127282628213047592 logonCount: 0 distinguishedName: CN=MYHOST,OU=Computers,OU=Mytown,OU=whatever,DC=mydomain,DC=mywork,DC=co mpany objectCategory: CN=Computer,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=whatever,DC=mywork,DC=company objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: user objectClass: computer objectGUID: 933781dc-39a2-4ae4-9994-204a0f355a7 objectSid: S-1-5-21-945540591-4024260831-3861152641-62366 primaryGroupID: 515 pwdLastSet: 0 name: MYHOST sAMAccountName: MYHOST$ sAMAccountType: 805306369 userAccountControl: 4096 uSNChanged: 510675623 uSNCreated: 510671046 whenChanged: 20040505203340.0Z whenCreated: 20040505201257.0Z Any and all insight on this issue is greatly appreciated & welcome.
