[Samba] join domain failure "system account not in primary...."

[Mark]

You need to use this syntax:
useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null mycomputername\$

Once this is done you will need to add the windows pc to the samba
domain using root as the name and root's samba password, 
which means root needs a samba user and password beforehand.

I am trying join a w2k bo to a samba DC on RH9.  I have read that I need

to add the computer as a user first then join so I did it via these 
commands:

adduser myComputer$
smbpasswd -a -m myComputer

Is that all i need to do?

When I join I get the "welcome to the domain message" and then I 
restart.  However when trying to login I get "This systems computer 
account is not in the primary....." and cant log on.

Furthermore there is a long pause before I get the "welcome to the 
domain message" message when I join the domain.  As a result I used 
ethareal to look at the packets a found many protocol errors.  Such as:

DNS: no such name : _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.funk.com
NETLOGON: SAM Response - user unknown

thanks in advance
