You need to specify -U administrator  to change the username it sends -
it defaults to the current user on your Unix box.  As you might expect,
NT doesn't like the idea of people logging in as 'root' :-).

If your machine has been added with server manger, the 'net rpc join
oldstyle' command will use the default password set on that account to
join itself to the domain.

We also need to get some doco in order...

Sothing is broken here.  The 'success but failed' means that the
connection was dropped midstream...  Can you see what the server has to
say in its logs?  Or grab a later CVS snapshot?

Again, check your logs.
