I do have smbldap tools installed and, as far as I can tell, set up.

net join CHEMBMB -U Administrator returns "cannot join as standalone
machine".

The LDAP structure may be the issue... I don't think computer accounts
were ever set up on the current server (the last server was done by the
guy who used to do my job, who left basically no documentation), because
I wasn't aware they were necessary for this.  We're not planning to use
Samba/LDAP for windows authentication (only Mac, which doesn't require
any sort of machine account, and linux, which also doesn't require a
machine account), and if we do decide to do windows auth with Samba, it
won't be using SL1.

SL1 is only a file server -- it's for a small research group, and there
will eventually be a bunch of them, possibly as many as 30-40.  The
system that LDAP runs on will eventually become a PDC, if necessary, but
for now samba isn't even installed.  If that's the issue, I'll feel
stupid, but grateful that someone pointed me in the right direction.
Let me know what to try next... as I said initially, I'm quite out of my
depth.

I haven't been testing with a Windows machine, and I did something to
completely break SL1 yesterday, so I can't test it right now.  (I
changed something in smb.conf, and now samba won't start -- I need to
figure out what that is before I go any further.)
