Bjoern,
Thanks for the reply .....
/etc/nsswitch.conf has the following for hosts and networks:
hosts: dns nis files
networks: files
I edited networks to read:
networks: files dns
I then stopped and restarted named, there was no change, still unable to join the domain.
Any other ideas?? I'm stumped ....
Prescott ...

hi,
are you sure, that those lines are in /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns
networks: files dns
otherwise ping and co. (gethostbyname) don't resolve over dns.
