Jim,
I have Samba shut down while executing the net rpc join commands, as the HOW-TO says.
On trying the following,
# ./net rpc join -S NTSERVER
Password:
This is the response I get,
Could not connect to server NTSERVER
The username or password was not correct.
The password used was that of the administrator authorized to add machines to the domain. Is there any other username/password I should be using?
On trying this,
net join -S NT4SERVER -U administrator%'xxxxxxxx' -W MYWORKGROUP --long
This is the response I get,
Unable to join domain <domain-name>.
BTW, what does the switch --long do?
I have followed the exact steps in the document you have pointed out and the HOW-TOs. Thanks for pointing that out this particular chapter.
Regards,
Ash

-Ash,
-
-Do you have Samba shut down while you're
-running net rpc join? The daemons
-shouldn't be running, AFAIK.
-
-Make sure they're down, and try your earlier
-net rpc join commands...
-
-If that doesn't work, try just:
- net rpc join -S NT4SERVER
-
-Maybe try deleting MYSERVER from the domain,
-then
-net join -S NT4SERVER -U administrator%'xxxxxxxx' -W MYWORKGROUP --long
-
-See
-http://aosda.net/docs/samba/3.0/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html#id
