I have a very similar problem. I just joined the list yesterday with the
intent of asking about it, after failure to find a solution via Google.
Here's the info on the problem:
I have Samba 3.0.4 compiled from source running on OpenBSD 3.5.
Cowles-Admin is the name of a user that has administrative access to an
OU. I do not have administrator access to the entire Active Directory
tree. I created a computer account in Active Directory called
cowl-backup that the Samba server should use.
For now i've been working with a fairly simple smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = DRAKE
realm = DRAKE.EDU
netbios name = cowl-backup
security = ads
password server = *
encrypt passwords = yes
private dir = /etc/samba/private
I believe i have Kerberos set up correctly since the command
# /usr/local/kerberos/bin/kinit Cowles-Admin@DRAKE.EDU
runs just fine and after running it i can use smbclient to browse shares
without bring prompted for a password. For example, this command to
connect to Cowles-Admin's profile share works correctly:
# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient '\\Cowles-Library\Cowles-Admin' \
-U Cowles-Admin -k
I've created an account for the computer (cowl-backup) in AD. When i try
to join i get an error. Here's what happens:
# /usr/local/samba/bin/net ads join -U Cowles-Admin
Cowles-Admin's password:
[2004/06/14 09:56:02, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_add_machine_acct(1006)
Host account for cowl-backup already exists - modifying old
account
[2004/06/14 09:56:02, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_join_realm(1336)
ads_add_machine_acct: No such object
ads_join_realm: No such object
Using Google i was able to find a few others who had this problem, but
no solution. If anyone here knows how to fix this, i would appreciate
knowing about it. Thanks in advance.
