Okay, here is what is going on. This must have changed in the newer code,
because what I was doing worked before. I can only connect to the domain
when I use a "change domain" from control panel/network. And, I can only
do this immediately after I reset the machine account's password with a
"smbpasswd -m machine_name machine_name"
Here after everything works fine until the machine is moved to a different
domain or (this is the big problem) I rebuild the machine (either from
scratch or using imaging software). Once this is done, I have to reset
the password again. Is this supposed to happen like this? The reason I
ask is because I used to be able to rebuild the machines and change the
netbios names without having to rejoin the domain and everything would
work nicely. This is also a problem for me because I don't have root
access on the samba PDC to reset a machine account every time I rebuild a
machine. (I have a linux box that I do all debugging on, then contact my
unix sysadmin with solutions).
