This may be mis-filed with regards to the component...Please advise and/or reclassify if needed Trying to join a Fedora 17 machine (3.3.4-5.fc17.i686.PAE) to an AD2003 domain. Running "net join -S <dc-name> -U <account-with-domain-Join-authority> yields PANIC (pid 1576): failed to create UCS2 buffer BACKTRACE: 15 stack frames: #0 /usr/bin/net(log_stack_trace+0x2a) [0xb71edd0a] #1 /usr/bin/net(smb_panic+0x29) [0xb71ede09] #2 /usr/bin/net(+0x32e313) [0xb71da313] #3 /usr/bin/net(name_mangle+0xa4) [0xb70e4624] #4 /usr/bin/net(cli_session_request+0xca) [0xb70935fa] #5 /usr/bin/net(cli_start_connection+0x17f) [0xb709423f] #6 /usr/bin/net(cli_full_connection+0x89) [0xb7094629] #7 /usr/bin/net(+0x5b820b) [0xb746420b] #8 /usr/bin/net(libnet_Join+0x140) [0xb74666d0] #9 /usr/bin/net(net_ads_join+0x2e7) [0xb6f53ab7] #10 /usr/bin/net(net_join+0x90) [0xb6f9cb70] #11 /usr/bin/net(net_run_function+0x16a) [0xb6f95cba] #12 /usr/bin/net(main+0x987) [0xb6f50847] #13 /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0xb6a0a635] #14 /usr/bin/net(+0xa4a19) [0xb6f50a19] Running "net join -U <account-with-domain-Join-authority>" yields: Enter <user>'s password: dos charset 'CP850' unavailable - using ASCII convert_string_talloc: Conversion not supported. Failed to join domain: failed to lookup DC info for domain '<DOMAIN>' over rpc: Memory allocation error ADS join did not work, falling back to RPC... Unable to find a suitable server for domain <DOMAIN> Unable to find a suitable server for domain <DOMAIN> If I substitute the DC's IP address, I get the same results with Connection failed: NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY instead of "Memory Allocation Error"
The first line is the critical clue. Please recompile with iconv headers available. Otherwise, any single non-ASCII character that for some reason needs to be in dos charset will cause pain. It certainly is important to rule this out.
please reopen if you still see that problem with a libiconv enabled samba build. closing this for now.
