Problems joining a linux box to an active directory

I had already joined one box at my office, and it was sooooooooooooo easy.

All I had to do was:

set the security to domain

set the workgroup, set the realm, and join.

But I'm trying at a different place, and I just don't get to do it.

I have already set two names at /etc/samba/lmhosts and got to make it advance a little, but now I'm stuck.

When I join, this is the output:

Code:

# net join -U Administrator

Administrator's password:

[2005/10/04 18:27:17, 0] libads/kerberos.c:ads_kinit_password(146)

  kerberos_kinit_password Administrator@MATERNOBARINAS failed: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm

[2005/10/04 18:27:17, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(186)

  ads_connect: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm

Joined domain MATERNOBARINAS.

root@proxy:/home/antoranz #

There is a problem. But what is it?

Look at the end. It sais I'm joined. But when I test, this is the output:

Code:

# wbinfo -t

checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed

error code was NT_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR (0xc00000e5)

Could not check secret

See? What's the problem? :confused:

I tried with join ADS

See now:

Code:

# net ADS join -U Administrator

Administrator's password:

[2005/10/04 18:44:36, 0] libads/kerberos.c:ads_kinit_password(146)

  kerberos_kinit_password Administrator@MATERNOBARINAS failed: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm

[2005/10/04 18:44:36, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(186)

  ads_connect: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm

At least it doesn't say I did join the domain.

Now, the computer shows op on the "computers" section of the Active Directory. And when I look at the information of the host, it says that its DNS name is: localhost.localdomain instead of proxy.maternobarinas

Maybe that can help you tell me what's going on.

This is driving me crazy.

I tweaked a little and managed to stablish trust relationship between the ADS and the host. This box is going to work as a authenticating proxy (squid / ntlm_auth)... and I managed to get it working... but after a while, the trust relationship is p}broken and all authentication stops.

What could be causing it? :scratch:

PS Forgot to tell you that I had to install krb5.
