CentOS 5.4 not able to join a Windows Active Directory

[David Tam]

Hello,

I am setting up a samba share with Windows 2003 AD integration, but am running into a problem.

I have setup kerberos correctly as I can use kinit and create tickets.

but when I run net ads join -U user
I get the below error

Failed to join domain: Operations error

running it the debug option I get this error, hope it helps. 

[2009/12/04 17:21:39, 2] libads/ldap.c:ldap_open_with_timeout(70)
  Could not open LDAP connection to ADSERVER:389: No such file or directory
[2009/12/04 17:21:39, 1] utils/net_ads.c:net_ads_join(1470)
  error on ads_startup: Operations error
Failed to join domain: Operations error
[2009/12/04 17:21:39, 2] utils/net.c:main(1075)
  return code = -1

I am not sure why ldap is having issues.

below is my smb.conf file.

[global]
workgroup = workgroup name
realm = REALMNAME
netbios name = servername

security = ADS
log level = 5
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
load printers = No

winbind separator = +
idmap uid = 600-20000
idmap gid = 600-20000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes

password server = foxneo.com

[Share]
        browseable = no
        read only = no
        valid users = %S
        path = /home/storage
        comment = Storage share

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
