I'm trying to setup a Linux box to authenticate on Windows Active Directory. I have winbind and samba installed and running on Mandrake 10.1. When I boot the PC it prompts me with all the usernames from my Windows 2000 Active Directory. After I login I can run: net RPC TESTJOIN (works fine) net ADS TESTJOIN (failed: Malformed representation of principal) Why won't ADS work? Carlton.
