[Samba] Net ads join

[Paul Gienger]

I'm going to have to defer to someone with superiour knowledge here, 
I've only set up ADS membership once, and that was on a test environment.

Two things though, are you specifying your realm as lower case or upper 
case?  I believe you need to it uppercase: FSKLAW.NET    Also, what do 
you get when you run the kinit command from the document?
