Problem joining Domain with Win2k

[Christian Hergl]

Greetings and hello.

I recently joined the list as I wanted to try to set up a PDC with Samba 
2.2. I red through the recent december postings in the archives and the 
according Howtos and FAQS, but standing now before a problem I can't solve.

The setting is the following: SuSE 7.0 with 2.2.18, recent Samba 2.2.0 
CVS on the server, and an ordinary Win2k workstation.
I set the CVS up like in the FAQ, with the following changes due to the 
SuSE, it seems:
- changed the 'adduser' to 'useradd', taking out the '-n' flag too.
- did a manual 'smbpasswd -a -m' Machine, to get the NO PASSWORD entry 
out of the smbpasswd for the according machine.
- commented the 'oplocks' setting in the smb.config, as the testparm 
pointed out, that it is somehow wrong.
Samba is up and running on Linux, and I see the shares on the Win2k 
machine. User and machine are in the according passwd and smbwasswd on 
the server.

On the Win2k computer, I tried then then usual 'join domain' procedure. 
The best thing I can get is: I get asked for the login, where I use the 
root login of the Linux server. After a short access on the disk I get 
informed by Win2k, that the local security and account settings have not 
been set up. =P

Reading through the archives, I took a look into the 
winnt/debug/netsetup.log. There it basically says, that my domain is 
valid and exists (phew), and that it is finding my DC \\Schwester. But 
then something goes wrong (Workstation name is WEEATHLON$):

12/23 01:03:40 NetpGetNt4RefusePasswordChangeStatus: trying to read from 
'\\SCHWESTER'
12/23 01:03:40 NetpGetNt4RefusePasswordChangeStatus: failed but ignored

'\\SCHWESTER': 0x0
12/23 01:03:40 NetpDoDomainJoin: status: 0x534

It seems like it is unable to deal with some passwords? Does anyone know 
what is going on? I feel like I'm 'that' close to a connect, but some 
minor thing is still missing.

Thanks for your time, and merry xmas,
Christian
