Not able to join domain!

[Glenn Gerrard]

Have you made sure that smbd is not running when you try to join the domain?
Use SWAT to make sure that smbd is not running, then issue the command -
smbpasswd -j <DOMAIN> -r <PDC NETBIOS NAME>  that should work for you.

OK.

This is the error messege I get when I try to join the domain (or is it the
PDC?):

/smbpasswd -j <name of the samba-server> -r <name of the PDC>

The following appears:

load_client_codepage: filename /usr/local/samba/lib/codepages/codepage.850
does
not exist.
cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT
cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
modify_trust_password: unable to setup PDC credentials to machine <name of
the
PDC>. Error was: NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT.
1999/06/01 13:13:38 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change
password
fpr domain <name of the samba-server>
Unable to join domain <name of the samba-server>

So what's the problem with the domain?

Thanks in advance.
