Dear Experts...
This one is driving me nuts. I have samab with winbind setup and have proceeded to setup samba, setup kerberos, and join the Active Directory. I can use the kinit and kpasswd tools to check/change passwords on the Active Directory. Everything seems to be going smooth until wbinfo -u. Then I get "Error looking up domain users".
net rpc join -U Administrator reports a sucessful join.
Active Directory shows the unix server's computer account
wbinfo -t reports sucess
wbinfo -g reports BuiltIn groups only
------------------ smb.conf --------------------------

What is up with this? From what I recall I followed the exact same proceedures for another setup and it worked just fine.
I really need this soon. Thanks!! -Cheers, Peter.

Ok... I was very stupid...
My /etc/hosts entries were wrong and I didn't check them since I was able to join the domain and ping the server.
I forgot to include the short name of the server in the hosts file instead of just the fqdn. That is why it was junking out.
Thanks for the memory jog gheist. I am feeling very stuipd at this point. :-P
Thanks again! Cheers, Peter.

Do you have WINS server around somewhere so samba can query PDC ???
It needs IP address by your resolve order...
