All, New to the list, but have used samba off and on over the years, though not recently. I just installed 3.3.3 on a FreeBSD 7.1 box, and joined it to our Win2k3 domain. It seems to work just fine, though initially I got an error. I did: it-kbuff-fbsd# kinit _service@MYCOMANY.COM Then it-kbuff-fbsd# net ads join -U _service -S zad3.mycompany.com createcomputer="MyCompanyUS/Computers/Workstations" Using short domain name -- MYCOMPANY Joined 'IT-KBUFF-FBSD' to realm 'mycompany.com' [2009/07/08 19:41:37, 0] libads/kerberos.c:ads_kinit_password(362) kerberos_kinit_password IT-KBUFF-FBSD$@MYCOMPANY.COM failed: Client not found in Kerberos database In spite of the error message, it seems to work, as there is an entry in ADUC and after I've defined a share or two I can do a 'net view' of the box and a directory listing against the shares from an XP machine. I've also updated to 3.3.6, though, just in case. Is the error message benign, or should I be researching further? I didn't find much that seemed relevant after some googling with the error message as a search term for about an hour yesterday. Kurt
