Server setup: openldap version 2.3.11 and samba 3.0.10-1.4E.2 on centos 4.1 Currenlty I can connect using smbclient or a windows client to the shares using ldap usernames and passwords. However when I go to add a windows 2000 machine to the domain there are some problems. The machine joins the domain however after rebooting and trying to log in this error message pops up. "System cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect". To add the machine I first added an account to passwd using &> useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -s /bin/false machinename$ and the samba account $>smbpasswd -a -m machinename. I'm not certain what other information may be needed/relevant. -robert
