[Samba] Unable to Join Domain

I recently setup a new server with CentOS 5.2.  Everything works great on
the server except when I try to join the domain it simply tells me:

    "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain
"Domain":

    The user name could not be found.

I have researched this error and attempted a number of fixes but have been
unable to resolve the issue.  I am able to connect to the server with the
user name and password that I am using to join the domain (I know that
isn't the user name its really talking about) and browse (read/write) the
network shares.  I have read the last entry in the log pertaining to the
domain join request, and it is telling me that useradd could not write to
the password file...  Anyone have an idea of what is causing this?  Below
is the error and my smb.conf.  I created the smb.conf from a guide at
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-samba-servers.html
and added some settings based on previous servers.

What happens if you call that command manually? Any error
message?

I have configured my samba box as a wins server and placed tht IP
address in the wins configuration dialog on the windows box I'm
joining to my samba PDC. (Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network
Connections->right-click on active network connection and choose
properties->double-click in TCP/IP (at the bottom)->Advanced->WINS
tab).

[Samba] Unable to Join Domain

Samba 3.0.28a (from CentOS 5.2) would not allow me to add my new domain
controller to the domain that it was supposed to be controlling.  I
uninstalled 3.0.28a and installed the 3.0.31 version (which was current at
that time).

After the upgrade, I was able to join the domain with out difficulty.

I submitted a bug-report to CentOS about this issue.

The server is a WINS server, and I tried adding the server IP to the
Advanced/WINS tab and I have the same problem.

Any other ideas?

[Samba] Unable to Join Domain

from : http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/services/samba/yum.txt

Howto use SerNet Samba packages with Yum:
-----------------------------------------

For example for RHEL 5 (tested packages):

- cd /etc/yum.repos.d
- wget http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/tested/rhel/5/sernet-samba.repo
- yum install samba3

To use the latest packages, use 
  wget http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/recent/rhel/5/sernet-samba.repo


SerNet Samba Team

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-- www.sambaxp.org -- www.enterprisesamba.com -- www.sernet.de --
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 


CentOS 5.2 would use the same instructions.  except use the:
http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/recent/centos/5/sernet-samba.repo  
repo.

You may [want to|have to] uninstall your samba before installing samba3 from
the sernet repo.

I had 3.0.28a but when I attempt to install from yum the most current
version it supplies is 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1.  I realize it is a different
package, but it didn't seem to solve my issue.  Any help with getting yum to
give me a more current version, or other ideas to solve this issue?

[Samba] Re: Unable to Join Domain

I just wanted to let everyone that helped me with this issue know that I
solved it.  I used the root user to add the systems to the domain, and it
worked perfectly!  Apparently the user I was using wasn't allowed to add
domain machines...

Thanks for all your help though!
