Getting Samba to become a member of an NT domain

[Baran, Bob]

Hi Axel,

 I'm missing this step:

* First, create a machine account on the PDC for the client samba machine.
Since I'm using an actual NT Server as the PDC, then "follow normal
procedures for creating the machine account using the Server Manager".

I'm not sure what "follow normal procedures for creating the machine account
using the Server Manager" means?

When I run the command # /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -j PERLMUTER on my
client samba machine, I get the following errors:

# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -j PERLMUTER
cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT
cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine PP01.
Erro
r was : NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT.
2000/11/03 09:29:51 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change
password f
or domain PERLMUTER.
Unable to join domain PERLMUTER.

Do you have any suggestons?
