joining linux samba client to a windows controlled domain

[Prashanth Prahalad]

I'm trying to set up a linux samba and try to make it
join to a Windows controlled domain with Kerberos
authentication. Does this work ?  

Here's what I'm trying :

·         Setup a Win2k3 domain controller
·         Install linux client, running this version
of samba
[root]# smbd -V
Version 3.0.3-5
·         Run authconfig
o        enable Kerberos authentication
o        Set KDC to point to the domain controller
o        Check (ads) and set the domain controller
address in winbind settings
·         Run – net ads join –U administrator
<prompts for password>

At this point, it doesn’t show any messages and my
guess is it is not joined to a domain.

The log shows these errors –
[root]# tail winbindd.log
[…]

nsswitch/winbindd_util.c:add_trusted_domain(180)

  Could not fetch sid for our domain PRASHP-DOM

Any idea on what could be going on ?

Thanks !
