Hello,

Well a How-To Guide said to use that command after everything is setup. I tried
using Windows 2000 Client to join the domain, but it would not, said domain dns
lookup failed. Any help?

my problem. I appericiate any help in advance! I am running Samba 2.2.11 on a
RedHat Linux 7.3 Server, connected to a network of Windows 2000 & XP
Machines. I want to configure Samba to be the Domain Controller for my other
machines. Before I was getting an error on a old copy of Samba (2.2.2a i think),
then I upgraded to 2.2.11, and when I run the smbpasswd -j domainname , I get
this error:

Then why do you want it to join its own domain?
You just need to have domain logons = yes  for a domain controler and
domain master = yes if this is the primary domain controler (which is
the case, if this is the first, or the only one domain controler on your
network).
And then join the clients to this newly created domain.

so this is why I don't have it set Security = Domain. If anyone can please
provide me with some very helpful information or a small working config file,
please do.
