samba - Jul 2007 - Problem jioning domain using "net rpc join"

Hi,

I have a samba PDC running on Centos4 with several hundred Windows PS's
using
it for authentication. 

I've just upgraded the fileserver which serves the users home directories to
Centos5. The problem is how to get the upgraded fileserver to join the 
existing domain.

On the server JANUS I have an account for the upgraded fileserver 
in /etc/passwd same as before.

When I try and join the domain from the fileserver I get



[root@youngmunster ~]# net rpc join MEMBER  -U root -d 2
[2007/07/05 14:13:37, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(81)

OOP's I forgot to recreate the account in the smbpasswd file.

So now it joined the domain.
