[Samba] ADS join / Name vs. IP

[Christof Musik]

Hi

I have a little problem to get Samba 3.0.26a to work with a w2k3 ad. If
I try to connect to it I get an "Failed to join domain: Operations
error". With debug I can see that samba tries to connect to the ldap
server. But instead using the IP address it's using the name.

Could not open LDAP connection to win1.test.ads.local:389: Connection refused

In my enviroment, this couldn't be resolved to an IP and so the whole
domain join failed.

I changed the one line in source/libads/ldap.c to use the IP and
everything worked.

 		LDAP_PORT, lp_ldap_timeout())) == NULL )
 	{
 		return ADS_ERROR(LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR);

At least in 3.0.22 there was something similar.  Is there a reason why
the name is used?
