[Bug 549527] [NEW] Cannot find domain controller when joining a domain

[Justin Jon L. Jereza]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

When I try to join a domain, I get the following:

$ sudo net ads join -U admin
Enter admin's password:
Failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain EXAMPLE.LOCAL

Using 'sudo net ads join -U admin -S DC' works. This seems to be
specific to Ubuntu since another distro (Fedora 12) on the same network
doesn't have any problem finding the domain controller.

This problem occurs on Karmic.
