I'm rather new to FreeBSD and Samba and I'm running samba 2.2.1a and trying to set up my samba server as the PDC in a small network with several windows 2000 workstations. I do not have any existing windows NT PDCs running. I have read the online documentation, and Samba Unleashed. I have configured smb.conf as follows (like the instructions at samba.org specify): [global] netbios name = mail workgroup = borderpatrolclan.net os level = 64 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes local master = Yes security = user encrypt passwords = Yes domain logons = Yes password server = * logon path = \\mail\profiles\%u logon drive = H: logon home = \\mail\home\%u [netlogon] path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon writeable = no write list = root,jason [profiles] path = /export/smb/ntprofile writeable = yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [homes] read only = No browseable = No [web] path = /usr/local/www/data read only = No guest ok = No [mail] path = / read only = No borwseable = Yes guest ok = No I have created the machine trust account and added it to the smbpasswd file. Everything is in order according to what I have read (and, the shares work fine). When I try to join the domain using the following command I get the following error: mail# smbpasswd -j borderpatrolclan.net 2001/08/15 13:31:22 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change password for domain BORDERPATROLCLAN.NET. Unable to join domain BORDERPATROLCLAN.NET. I have tried a number of different ways to solve this problem but have been unsuccessful. I hope someone can help me figure this out (what I have done wrong or haven't done). I'll provide more info if needed (I hope I have been thorough enough.
