Thanks Gary. That resource was VERY helpful. I'm not sure why I couldn't find it earlier.<br />

I already had defined the realm, it was actually an issue with kerberos not working correctly.

Overall I'm trying to figure-out how to allow active directory users access file shares on a linux box (that has samba installed). Our AD is called ad.xxx.edu. I use this command to try to join the box (followed by the error I rec'):<br />
<br />
net join -w ad.xxx.edu -S 128.255.255.49 -U frank<br />
frank's password:<br />
realm must be set in in smb.conf for ADS join to succeed.<br />
ADS join did not work, falling back to RPC...<br />

Suggestions? I've gotten pretty familiar with the krb5.conf and smb.conf files. Thanks!
