[Samba] Samba v3.0.23c + FreeBSD 6.1 - Failed to set servicePrincipalNames

[Raj Pagaku]

Thanks Jerry for your response.  It is case (b).  The fqdn of the local
machine is set to a domain outside the AD domain name and the user
credentials being used is 'Domain User' and not a 'Domain Admin'.

Do we need 'Domain Admin' if the local machine domain is outside the AD
domain name?  Is this a restriction that will be addressed in the near
future?

Thanks
Raj
