[K12OSN] problems with win2000 joining a samba/ldap domain

[Dave Hopkins]

With Samba 3, you should be able to join the domain without having to 
explicitly add the systems at the server (it works like a real Windows 
PDC :) ) although adding it explicitly won't hurt anything.  However, 
make sure you have the Samba PDC set as the WINS server on the system 
that you are trying to join the domain from.  This fixed the issue for me.

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
