Do you have any suggestions?  I don't see it search for username after
domain\username.  Is this a bug in samba?  I'm using 2.2.3a, compiled as
follows on a redhat-7.2 machine.

CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS $EXTRA" ./configure \
        --prefix=%{prefix} \

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
