I got a bit further now, after I used the -W option;

rpcclient -S PDCNAME -U root -W DOMAINNAME
lsaquery
createuser client$ -s -j

this creates a valid machine account, but does not join the client to the
domain.

deluser client$
createuser client$ -s -j DOMAINNAME

tries to create a machine account, and tries to join the client to the
domain.
This somehow fails.
(the server tries to connect to port 445 of both the PDC and the client,
connections are refused, it also tries to connect to /tmp/.smb.0/agent, this
also fails.)
final message 'Create Domain User: FAILED'

I've tried this also with an NT server, I used rpcclient from the samba
client, and tried to create a machine account and join the samba client to
the domain.
This also failed.

How can I join my samba client to either a samba PDC or a NT PDC?
(the samba pdc is running samba-tng alpha version 2.2, the client 2.4, the
client I tried to join to an NT domain is running 2.3)

Best regards,
