[Samba] Subject: [samba]Error join NT domain

[Chere Zhou]

You should try to run 
	smbpasswd -j DTWX -r slaver -U administrator
It will prompt for the NT domain's administrator's password.  You can also 
use any username who is in the "domain admins" group in your domain.  This is 
a much cleaner way to join than using smbpasswd without username and creating 
the machine account manually, which is tricky.  Also make sure slaver is the 
PDC's real netbios name.  I found that an alias does not work.

If you can join this way but still want to do the way you did it, let me 
know.  I saw some scenarios and probably can help you debug it.

Good luck,
Chere

                    Unable to join domain DTWX

           [root at root] # smbstatus

                             no locked file

noted:here DOM is DTWX.,

              DOMPDC is slaver.

             I have created the machine accout and joined the samba's netbios 
name(fang) in the PDC.

           samba version 2.3I can't understand the means of no locked file,

I have been tired and  don,t know what to do the next step,

If anyone knows anything about this , please help me
out or point me in the right direction and tell me what i should do
Thanks,
