[Samba] Not able to join domain

[Chris Boyd]

I ran the groupmap script

#!/bin/bash

net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmin
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=nobody

 and was able to create the root account in pdbedit. 
I've gotten the XP machine to join the UCD domain now. Although I'm still not clear what the groupmapping did.

That syntax would be right if you were trying to join a domain called "PDC"
Showing as PDC is only dependent of the smb.conf file.

Have you tried changing root's samba password, with smbpasswd?

If you issue: pdbedit -Lv, do you get any entry for root/administrator or
something?
