I have exactly the same problem but using WindowsXP.

I reset the machine to not be a member of a domain, then rebooted, and
stopped Samba etc and erased everything apart from smbpasswd.

I then went into Network ID (from System) and joined the domain.
Everything went fine and said I had joined, then asked me to reboot.

When I rebooted XP, it now lists the domain or the local machine to
log-into. If I try a domain log-in, it fails, saying there is no PDC
or similar (or the trust relationship is invalid).

If I log in locally, then go into Control Panel and User Manager,
I then ask to add users, it lists the domain, and after asking for
a valid user/pass (I use root), it lists the available users on the
samba server to add. I click on one to add it, and when I do "next"
it fails with "trust relationship is invalid".

I've gone through every permutation of this and have never
succeeded.

The only error in the log file for the XP machine (i.e. machine.log)
is

[2001/12/10 22:01:18, 0] rpc_server/srv_samr.c:(670)
  api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_USERINFO.
