Yes. The server must run as a PDC [security=user, domain logons = yes]
There are two security options.
First, 'security = domain' and secondly is 'security = server'
The first one needs the client acount in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd.
And also you must do 'joining to the domain' from the client. [smbpasswd -r
server -j domain]
Both need the same workgroup/domain with the server.
If this is unclear, there are docs in your extracted sources.
