[Samba] Unable to join NT domain

[Daulton Theodore]

I have been trying to have a Samba-2.2.8a server join our NT domain with no
luck. I already have another 2.2.8a server in the domain. This one (the 
production server) resides on a Sunfire V280R with solaris 8. The intention 
is replace it with a Sunfire V240 running Solaris 9. I would like to have the
test server (Solaris 9) join a domain so I could test that all (printing etc)
will work before I do the cut-over. I have read lots of literature but have 
been unable to successfully join. I have had the machine account recreated 
several times but to no avail. The following is the output from my attempt
to join with debug level set to three. I am hoping that someone out there 
would spot something that would help me get past this hurdle. Thanks in 
advance.
