AW: problems joining a NT domain

[Askew Bernard]

Check on your PDC NT Server if your host ebv-nettetal-ns is defined. You
might have to delete it and create it again on the PDC. I had a fight with
such a configuration last week.
Is "ebv-nettetal-ns" it's real name or is it a virtual name (type "hostname"
on your UNIX to check)? If you have another name as hostname, you might have
to define it as well on your PDC.
Eventually you might have to check if your Samba daemons are running or not
when you join. Try both.
If I'm right, you then don't need a password file on your Samba, you use the
one on your PDC NT Server EBV-NETTETAL-NT.

Good luck!
