smbpasswd -j <domain> -r <pdc> won't work for me!

[Rob Tanner]

I've been using SAMBA for a while, but this my first effort running it 
on LINUX, and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with my problem 
or not.

This is what I typed and the response I got:

[root at uranus]# smbpasswd -j EUROPA -r SATURN

I'm afraid my NT guy can't tell me any more than it's complaining  that 
there's no trust account for my machine, but that's what I'm supposedly 
trying to set up.

The pertinent numbers are NT4 service pack 6 on the Microsoft side, and 
rh 6.2 and Samba 2.0.7 on the LINUX side.

I have gone through DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt to make sure everything is set up 
correctly.   There is a /usr/local/samba/private directory.  The 
samba.conf file is configured almost identically to another samba box 
running on solaris 7 that is a full participant in the domain I'm 
trying to get the LINUX box into.  And all the daemons are stopped. 
Unfortunately, DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt doesn't provide any trouble-shooting 
tips, so here I am.

Can anybody tell me what is actually happening and what the problem 
might be?

Thanks,
Rob
