hehehehe...  see the archives?   :)

This is a non-stop issue.. everyday almost, someone asks this... If you have
the latest cvs, and follow the instructions to the letter, it should work.
First thing I would check is what version of smbd you have, then I would do
a ( find / -name smbd 2> /dev/null ) to locate all occurances of the darned
thing.  Don't rely on locate since there is not guarantee that it's database
is up to date, unless you issue an ( locate -u ) as root.  Of course don't
type in the ( ) characters...

If you know that you only have one copy of samba, and it's the latest
version, then and only then would I proceed with trouble shooting.  Remember
that if certain joining attempts to the domain may require you to delete the
machine account from smbpasswd and re-create it.

And of course, don't forget to add root to the smbpasswd file either.

Armand.
