samba - Mar 2005 - Can't see my Samba server into the A.D. Domain

Samba server: SUN/Solaris 8
Samba version 3.0.10
Domain: Active Directory with a W2K PDC

My Samba server is a Domain Member Server, connected to the Active Directory
Domain with the "net rpc join" unix command.
All the MS-Windows SMB client from the Domain can connect an use, without
any problem, the shares of the Samba server.

When I use, on an MS-Windows client or the PDC,  the command : net view
/domain:mydomain, I can see all the Domain stations but not my samba server.

Have i forgotten to switch a parameter in the smb.conf file?

Thanks

Gilbert

Shouldn't this be "net ads join"? There is a difference, no?

Of course!

I have download the Samba package 3.0.10 from the http://www.sunfreeware.com
site. The "net ADS" command doesn't work with this package but
"net RPC" is
OK. I haven't see the consequences that the lack of this simple parameter
will make. The response was into my question like  "My nose in front of my
face" ;-).
I just have to make my own package from the originales sources.

Thanks

Gilbert

   I emailed Steve Christensen about this while he was at Linux World
(2/14/2005), and he said he'd consider it. However, due to the reliance
on other packages, it rapidly spirals into a dependency hell
situation:

   If poeple ask him politely to compile a Samba with ADS support he
might do it, but for now I don't think he had plans to do so. (I would
love to be wrong!)

I didn't think that my original question will became a Troll ;-)

Thank you all for your advices. 
Thanks to Steve Christensen for all the packages I have downloaded from
"sunfreeware" for a longtime.
I will do my best to create myself, probably with your help, a package with
ADS/LDAP options.

Not so much.  I don't really know how to respond to that in some sort of
civil way except to point you to a discussion on the term:

LDAP is based on the standards contained within the X.500
<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/X_500.html> standard, but is
significantly
simpler. And unlike X.500, LDAP supports TCP/IP
<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/TCP_IP.html>, which is necessary for any
type of Internet <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/Internet.html>
access. Because it's a simpler version of X.500, LDAP is sometimes called
/X.500-lite.

/I also drive a light-truck (that's a pickup, I hate calling it a truck...
anyway), to drive it I have to put gas in it.  Gas is a complex mixture.
That's about the same analogy you're trying to make.
