[Samba] Linux Join Domain Problem

[David Highley]

I have a Linux RedHat 7.2 system that I'm not able to get to rejoin our
domain which is using a Solaris 8 system running Samba 2.2.5 system as a
PDC. The Linux client is running Samba version 2.2.1a. I have tried with
and without a machine record in the smbpasswd file. I have tried various
arrangements of "smbpasswd -j domain -r system -Uadmin%passwd". The
error I get is not able to write to the passwd file. I do know that
Samba should not be running when you do this. Specific error message is:
    Unable to write the machine account password for machine SEQUOIA in
    domain RECOMMENDED.

I have other systems, Win2k, Solaris, and RedHat 7.2 that are working,
but I have not needed to try a rejoin to the domain with them.
