samba - Jul 2002 - Error Trying to Join Win2k to Samba 2.2.5 Domain

I've got 2.2.5 running on a test server (RH Linux 6.2), and I'm trying
to
get a Win2k box to join the domain, but I'm getting the following errors:

(at log level 3)

[2002/07/18 12:26:25, 2] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:startsmbfilepwent(170)
  startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /etc/smbpasswd.
  Error was Permission denied
[2002/07/18 12:26:25, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwrid(1416)
  unable to open passdb database

I've already added the account for the machine and user to both the system
passwd file and /etc/smbpasswd.

/etc/smbpasswd is owned by root and is mode 0600, so I'm not sure why
samba can't read it.

I've put up the smb.conf file here:

   http://www.lib.uaa.alaska.edu/~tibor/smb.conf.txt

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

did you use user root to join the machine to the domain ?

Not initially, but I just tried it and get the same error.

Grrr...

Okay, I missed a bunch of stuff when I had originally gone over
Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html, and had also forgotten to add root to
smbpasswd.  After doing that, and changing several things in smb.conf, I
was able to get the win2k box to join the domain.

Thanks,
Mike
