samba - Jun 2004 - problem adding windows machines to domain - user root not found

Hello all,

I am trying to add a Windows XP machine to a domain controlled by a Samba 3 
server.  The problem is, when I try to add it, I get the follownig error:

"Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the follownig
error
occured:

The user name could not be found."

I am using the username root and the root samba password.  I even changed 
root's samba password to make sure I was using the correct one:

speedy# smbpasswd root
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
speedy#

Still no luck.  Other computers are on the domain and running fine, and in 
fact I have previously added new machines to it!  I am completely flummoxed 
here.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

Check your samba version according to this announcement:

quote from (samba.org)

(8th May, 2004) /Samba 3.0.4 and 2.2.9 Available for Download/

"The latest patch release of the 3.0 code base, Samba 3.0.4, is 
available for download in gzipped format 
<http://sambafr.idealx.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.0.4.tar.gz>. The GPG 
signature <http://sambafr.idealx.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.0.4.tar.asc> is 
for the uncompressed tarball. This is the latest stable release of 
Samba. This is the version that production Samba servers should be 
running for all current bug-fixes. There have been several issues fixed 
since the 3.0.3 release, the most visible of which is the problem with 
user password changes after applying the Microsoft security hotfix 
described in KB828741 to Windows NT 4.0/200x/XP clients. Please refer to 
the Release Notes 
<http://sambafr.idealx.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-3.0.4.html> for 
descriptions of the exact changes and new features."

Hope it helps.
