I trying to join windows server 2003 domain from redhat linux 9 using
Samba, but I get the following errror message:

[root@fs1 root]# smbpasswd -r dc1 -j domain.com -U admin
Password:

Howdy Mohammad,

Are you actually using the command:

smbpasswd -r dc1 -j domain.com -U admin

or are you replacing domain.com with the domain name
you are trying to access?

Thanks!  denco-ga

Howdy msamini!

Greatly appreciate your pateince with these diagnostics.

What is is the specific domain you are trying to connect to from
your RedHat Linux machine?  It will will not be domain.com, but
rather something else, such as google.com or samspade.org, etc.

Thanks!  denco-ga

Dear Denco,

The domain's name is iaus.edu. This is an internal domain for our lan
so don't look for it on the web.

Thank you for your resoponse.
