I am running a Debian Linux system with Samba 3.0.23d and the 2.6.8-3-386 kernel. I found a howto for adding a debian samba server to an ADS domain on debian-administrator.org but when I get to the point of actually running the 'net ads join' I get the following errors: 'resolve_name:unknown name switch type dns' And 'ads_connect:No such file or directory' Does anyone know why I would be getting these messages?

Does anybody know why this error would appear when trying to join an active directory domain (W2K3) with a debian 4.0, samba 3.0.23d, kernel 2.6.8 system?
