[Samba] Joining a Samba 3 domain repost

[Mike]

Hi I have now been through the documentation by-example guide

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/
There are two books:
	Samba3-HOWTO.pdf
	Samba3-ByExample.pdf


But I get the message "....error while joining domain xyz user not 
found"  when trying to join the domain with the root & rootpassword

Many thanks

Mike
