	You don't need to swear to us, I think Adam is more
concerned with you when he say that it needs "glue", otherwise
you probably will face some troubles finding where exactly is
the problem.

	ldapsearch is fine, but you should invest a couple of
hours to read the LDAP Administrator's Guide and a few bits
of the whole LDAP+Samba dance, it can save you hours of hitting
the head against the wall. :-)

	My guess is that you are missing the "admin" account
of the Domain. You should use 'net groupmap' or 'net rpc rights'
to give to the LDAP-root user the ability to join machines to
the domain.

	But looking for the error you sent in the previous message:
"logon failure:unknown user name or bad password", it seems that
there is still a problem with your account/password configs.

	Kind regards,
