[Samba] net ads testjoin without asking for password

[Atkinson, Robert]

You seem to be correct :-

$ NET RPC TESTJOIN
Join to 'UK' is OK
$

Note this is an OpenVMS server, not Linux/Unix.

Hi Robert,

I've already tried that and it wouldn't work :( If I understand it
correctly, then net writes the account password for the joining
account to the "secrets.tdb" file and if that file still is there say
after a reboot then net ads testjoin should not ask for a password
right?

Regards,
Khaled
