Interface Unknown: WAS [RE: problem rejoining domain]

Hello all, I'm now having problems rejoining the domain from a W2K Pro
workstation.

I removed the workstation from the domain because it wasn't executing the
logon script properly, and now it will not rejoin the domain at all.
Windows gives an 'Interface Unknown' error.

I am getting the latest from CVS and will set my log level higher, but until
then, has anybody seen this error before or know of a workaround?

Thanks,
Mark

Remove the entry from /etc/smbpasswd ...
