Infamous 'No mapping between account names and security ID's' message

[HUTTEN Thomas]

I recently got it to work

I'm not absolutely sure why it suddenly worked but here are the modifs i
did wich aparently made it work.

I changed the computer account entrys in /etc/passwd and /etc/smbpasswd
to uppercase.
I already had the user root in my smbpasswd but now i enabled it
(smbpasswd -e root).
Then i tried to join the domain with a W2k machine and again i
uppercased the computername before joining.

Then it worked.
