Ok......

I added the SRV records to my Bind 9 DNS server. I'm now gettinga DIFFERENT
WINS/DNs resolution error. I am now getting the following error when trying
to join a Windows Vista client to the 'HOMENET.LOCAL' domain [controlled by
'fbsd.homenet.local' (192.168.21.10)...]

DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record
used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller for domain
homenet.local:

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.homenet.local

The following AD DCs were identified by the query:

fbsd.homenet.local

Common causes of this error include:

- Host (A) records that map the name of the AD DCs to its IP addresses are
missing or contain incorrect addresses.

- Active Directory Domain Controllers registered in DNS are not connected to
the network or are not running.

PING fbsd.homenet.local FROM VISTA = SUCCESS

Here is my smb.conf:

   [global]
    workgroup = HOMENET
    netbios name = FBSD.HOMENET.LOCAL
    dns proxy = yes
    security = user
    passdb backend = tdbsam
    wins support = yes
    printcap name = cups
    add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u
    delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u
    add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g
    delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g
    add user to group script = /usr/sbin/groupmod -A %u %g
    delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/groupmod -R %u %g
    add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/nobody
%u
    # Note: The following specifies the default logon script.
    # Per user logon scripts can be specified in the user account using
pdbedit
    #logon script = scripts\logon.bat
    # This sets the default profile path. Set per user paths with pdbedit
    logon path = \%L\profiles\%U
    #logon path =
    logon drive = H:
    logon home = \%L\home\%U
    #logon home =
    domain logons = Yes
    os level = 66
    preferred master = Yes
    domain master = Yes
    idmap uid = 15000-20000
    idmap gid = 15000-20000


Also worth noting: I cannot get the samba server 'fbsd' to show up in the
'Network' (read: Network Places) in Vista, but I *can* get to it from
'\\fbsd'

Anyone havea ny thoughts???
