[Samba] Can't add machine account to domain

[Tru Pham]

Yep, that's right.  The windows account did not get created in Unix
therefore, you cannot add it to the domain.  What you need to do, I think,
is create this line in your smb.conf:

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -s /bin/false -d /dev/null
%u

see if it helps.

Was it you who try to setup ADS and Kerberos?  If so here's the link to the
ADS-HOWTO.txt.

I am running samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0 on RedHat 9.0.  The domain I am trying 
to join has a different name than the workgroup I am trying to leave. 

Below is a copy of the last two entries of the computer_name.log, which 
are created when I try to add the machine account.

[2003/06/27 15:57:24, 0] 
rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_api_samr_create_user(1929)
  User carroll-313cny4$ does not exist in system password file (usually 
/etc/passwd). Cannot add account without a valid local system user.
 

[2003/06/27 15:57:26, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(176)
  get_md4pw: Workstation carroll-313cny4$: no account in domain

tia,
cmc
