Samba Domain Member Problem

[sthm]

Hi

I'm trying to get my Linux server (Mandrake 7.2, 2.4.4 Kernel) onto my Windows 2000 domian. I downloaded and installed Samba 2.2 and it is working fine, I can see the shares on my Windows Server.
I added the Netbios name of the Linux server into the active directory.
But when I try to add the Linux server to the domain I get this

root# smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U administrator

modify_trust_password: machine PDC rejected the tconX on the IPC$ share. Error was : ERRDOS -ERRnocaccess (Access Denied)
2001/06/25 12:40:37 : change_trust_account_password: failed to change password for domain DOMAIN
Unable to join domain DOMAIN


Has anyone else run into this problem? And if so how did you get the 2000 server to accept the Linux box onto the domain?

Thanks in advance

Steve

I had a similar problem with an NT Domain. I found that if I added the computer account to the domain manually, I was able to join via the smbclient command within a couple of minutes. I haven't tried it yet with Win2k though......
