Problem 1: I decided that I would try to see how joining an Active Directory works in openSUSE 11.0. So, during install (not finished pending resolution of this), I have selected to join one. I have entered what I think is correct information. At some point, it will verify workgroup membership. A dialog box appears that lets you enter a user and password. The dialog offers that if I set both items to empty strings, I will be logged in anonymously. I have done this and it fails saying "Failed to join domain. User specified does not have administrator privileges." Sort of makes sense that an anonymous user would not have administrator privileges. But as I am joining a corporate Active Directory, I am hardly going to be given the Administrator password. Do I really need the corporate Active Directory's Administrator password for letting my Linux machine validate users against a AD server? If so, I find it hard to imagine this is ever used in a real corporate environment. So it must be something else. I do not see any more information on any consoles, nor in /var/log files. Problem 2: I am doing this during an install. This step is failing, and I do not have information to make it proceed (unless some kind soul has a useful answer for problem 1). My only choices are to proceed (can't because it fails) or to abort the installation. I seem not to be able to just skip past this step. Or am I missing something? I tried looking in the process list for a likely process to kill that may make yast proceed with the install. But there was nothing obvious. Is my install screwed? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
