samba 3.0.23 net ads join broken on hpux

[JJ Urich]

The code has been re-written in 3.0.23 for net ads join. IA64 11.23 is my OS.

In posting to the samba users group, a samba developer is telling me it is broken on hpux due to HP's old kerberos libs and the fact that they don't support RC4-HMAC. The fix is to install Kerberos Client version C.1.3.5.03 from www.software.hp.com. Then the net ads join works like a champ.

Here is a bit of that thread:

Yeah. That exposed the problem. We never had the DES session key crypto right for password changes. 3.0.23 uses the same RPC calls that XP uses to join a domain where as previous version used raw LDAP modify calls to create the machine account (but this required domain admins privileges).

Just a heads up for those who about to try this.

Cheers,
