[Samba] Unable to add computer to domain

[Wesley Hobbie]

I did a search on Google and all I found was a bunch of copies of a
conversation between Fran Fabrizio and John H Terpstra, and in the end Fran
did not have the add machine script.

I have the add machine script, that is not the problem, when I try to join
the domain from the Windows server, it does create the account in LDAP and
still fails :-(.  I did look at the server02.log file (log file for my
Windows 2003 Server) and I see the following entries:
[2006/03/13 20:55:40, 0] lib/util_sock.c:matchname(1111)

Wes,

Do a google search on this topic: [Samba] Can't join my domain

You will see what the problem is with the username can't be found.

Hey Craig,
Actually I found on the Internet that I needed to run smbldap-populate, so I
did and now I can manually add the user, although when I go to my Windows
2003 Server to join the domain I am still having a problem.

I can connect to LDAP via the command line, and I am using the same user in
smb.conf as I am in smbldap-tools_bind.config.

Excerpt from smb.conf:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://server01.bluemapletech.com
ldap suffix = dc=mydomain,dc=com
ldap machine suffix = ou=Hosts
ldap admin dn = cn=root,dc=mydomain,dc=com
add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u"

Excerpt from smbldap.conf:
slaveLDAP="127.0.0.1"
slavePort="389"

masterLDAP="127.0.0.1"
masterPort="389"

ldapTLS="1"
suffix="dc=mydomain,dc=com"
usersdn="ou=People,${suffix}"
computersdn="ou=Hosts,${suffix}"

with_smbpasswd="0"
smbpasswd="/usr/bin/smbpasswd"  (I am wondering if this is right?)

with_slappasswd="0"
slappasswd="/usr/sbin/slappasswd"

Excerpt from smbldap_bind.conf:
slaveDN="cn=root,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
slavePw="**********"
masterDN="cn=root,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
masterPw="**********"

Actually, I while I was copying the info from the files I noticed I
mispelled my domain name, so I fixed it and tried it again.  Now I do not
get an error about it cannot contact the LDAP server, only that it could not
find the next uid, "Error looking for next uid."

I'm going to ignore other users problems since they may or may not have
similarities to your issues.

Can you actually connect to your LDAP server from the command line?

Can you actually connect to your LDAP server from the command line with
'write' permissions as the user and parameters as indicated within smb.conf
?

Can you actually connect to your LDAP server from the command line with
'write' permissions as the user and parameters as indicated within
smbldap-tools_bind.conf ?
