Joining AD using likewise-open

[craigbert]

Hello All,

I am trying to join the AD here at work, but I was getting an error message: Error: LW_ERROR_ERRNO_ECONNREFUSED [code 0x00009d49]
After searching around a bit I found this with instructions for, hopefully, resolving the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...963/comments/8

Part of the instructions are: for file in /etc/likewise-open/*.reg; do lwregshell import $file; done
But that fails because of a parse error on the file: likewise-krb5-ad.conf

I have tried to find an example file or some kind of set of instructions to help me figure out what the parser is expecting, but no luck. Here is the parsing error:
lwregshell: import failed (line=2) (error = 40729 - <null>)

The contents of the file are:
[libdefaults]
default_tgs_enctypes = RC4-HMAC DES-CBC-MD5 DES-CBC-CRC
default_tkt_enctypes = RC4-HMAC DES-CBC-MD5 DES-CBC-CRC
preferred_enctypes = RC4-HMAC DES-CBC-MD5 DES-CBC-CRC
dns_lookup_kdc = true

I have tried removing the leading spaces, no good.
I have tried removing the first line, but then the error returns the same, but then points to line 1
I have tried all kinds of reformatting on line 2, but no joy.

Any thoughts about where I am going awry?
Or should I abandon using likewise-open in favor of some other means (I have no idea what) to join the AD?

Maybe DOS line terminators? How are you editing the file?

John ~ thanks for the reply!

sudo vi likewise-krb5-ad.conf

All of my stuff is Linux so that would mean it originally came with the DOS line terminators.
I will check for them later and see if that makes a difference.

No DOS line terminators, but created the file from scratch anyway using vi and still no joy.

Thoughts?
