Ok -- one other slight problem -- it seems that I have some sort of a
rogue record in my ADS Tree or something.  For whatever reason, I cannot
join my server as srvweb-01,  so as a simple solution, I changed the
host name on the server to srvweb-02.

I changed it in the system-config-network applet, in the hosts file, and
checked the krb5.conf and smb.conf files to make sure it was not
referenced in there anywhere.

Then I restarted the machine, so all the new settings were applied, also
changed the DNS and reloaded the zone,  This machine has a static
address, so DHCP should be a non issue

But when I try to join the domain, it still fails -- the routine worked
perfectly on my test server, it joined perfectly on the first try.  I
suspect that the old host name (srvweb-01) is registered someplace that
I don't know about, but I cannot seem to find it -- any suggestions
where I should be looking?
