Samba as domain controller

[till]

The correct line is:

add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G %g %u

I corrected it in the howto. I have the wrong line here on my test server for this howto too, so this error does not prevent machines from being added to the domain (in my installation).

I've gotten a little further, but I'm still getting the same error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "HOME":
Logon Failure: unknown user name or password.

But, it did add the host to /etc/passwd

The logs give a little more information....

I did find the problem. It was in the TDB database. When I did a "pdbedit -Lv" I noticed that the domain that was listed in the users data was different than what was in smb.conf. I changed the domian in smbf.conf to the one that was shown in the TDB database and it worked. BTW, the domain in the TDB database was the hostname of my server!

Yes, in the howto the samba domain is identic with the hostname. I will add a remark to the howto.
