trouble setting up samba and active directory

sandyt — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 05:46:53 GMT

We are running rhel4 and want to share a few linux libraries with xp clients using samba 3.0.33.

I am having problems getting the server to join the AD domain. For some reason the computer name is getting a $ suffix e.g. if the server name is xxxx, and the domain is yyyy, we get kerberos_kinit_password xxxx$@yyyy failed:client not found in kerberos database, and a subsequent nsswitch/winbindd_ads.c:ads_cached_connection(128)
ads_connect for domain yyyy failed:client not...(These found in the /var/log/samba/winbindd.log)

Any help will be welcome.

Thanks a lot for the references.
I had a problem with our /etc/samba/smb.conf
and has been corrected.
