[Samba] Domain Control

[IslandBwoy]

Hi again,

I just wanted to share with you what i did to make my samba server show up
as a workstation/server.  Im not sure why this even makes a difference but
before when joining the domain i used:

"kinit username at DOMAIN"
"net ads join"

That added my server as a domain controller.  However when i use the
following notation:

net rpc -S dc join -U username

When i did that my samba machine was added as a workstation/server.  However
now i notice there is nothing in the DNS name when searched under active
directory.  I'm not sure this makes much of a difference but i'll play with
that a little bit to see if i can find a way around that as well.

Hope that helps.

R.
