[Samba] Problem joining a Samba 3 domain - DC can't be contac ted

[fatima riadi]

I changed the domain name but the problem is still
here (the reason then is not the name).
Now, my PDC can be contacted: I am asked to enter a
login and password of a user authorised to join the
domain, but when I enter "Administrator" login and
password, they are not accepted. May be the problem is
caused by OpenLDAP.
Please, how may I fix that?
