[Samba]RE: join NT-Domain

[Mumper, David]

Again, something I may have visited recently.  :-)

Is the user you're logged on as when you issue the smbpasswd command an
Administrative user in the NT Domain?

Meaning, is root, an NT Administrator?  

Otherwise you'll need to use the -U option to pass an NT User account that
is capable of adding accounts to the Domain

smbpasswd -j Domain -r PDC -U administrator

Again, just a passing thought.  YMMV.
