[Samba] Unable to find a suitable server

[Gianluca Culot]

Hello List

I'm experienceing problems with Samba 3.0.25,1 running in a FreeBSD box.

I've succesfully joined a domain, and I've configured mail with auth on W2k3
server thorugh PAM. 

YET

If I issue

mail# /usr/local/www > net rpc testjoin

Unable to find a suitable server

Join to domain 'DMSWARE' is not valid

BUT

mail# /etc > net rpc testjoin -S orion

Join to 'DMSWARE' is OK

AND

mail# /usr/local/www > net ads testjoin

Join is OK

I know that RPC and ADS use two different methods to find the server... But

RPC shouldn't net rpc first try with files, then DNS, then broadcast ?

And giving "-S orion" is nothing more than what is already listed in
smb.conf

So Why RPC fails ?

Here are my conf files

**********************

mail# /etc > less nsswitch.conf

passwd: files winbind

shadow: files winbind

group: files winbind

#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns

#hosts: files dns wins
