[Samba] Specified user does not exist. Huh?!

[Christopher.Patricca]

Ok folks I’m at my wit’s end here as I cannot seem to join the domain I
setup under Samba version 3.0.7. Every time I try and join the domain
with a user that has the power to add a machine to the domain it just
says that the user does not exist. This happens with all accounts which
I have specified in the smb.conf file as a user that can do this
function. I have added those users via smbpasswd –a <username> as well
as username –g admin <username> and they do show up in the smbpasswd
file. Here’s what appears in my smbd.log file:



smbd version 3.0.7 started.

Those seem to be the relevant sections although I am not sure, let me
know if you just want me to post the entire logfile. Any help with this
problem would be appreciated as I would really like to get this up and
running.
