[Samba] Unable to log on (authenticating) to a Samba NT Domain

I have 4 machines at home:
1 Linux Centos 4.4 running as a PDC
1 Linux Centos domain member running as my file server. Winbind works
properly and I'm able to share files perfectly well
1 Windows XP sp2, member of my domain. No problem accessing files on
Centos domain member
1 Linux Fedora Core 5, also a domain member.

I'm unable to logon my Fedora 5 machine to my domain. I've joined the
domain, Winbind is running. getent passwd and group show my domain
passwd and group information properly. wbinfo -u return my users
(including domain)

Winbind seems to be properly configured, I'm including my full smb.conf

finally my nnswitch.conf file

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be
# sorted with the most-used services at the beginning.
#
# The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an
# entry should stop if the search in the previous entry turned
# up nothing. Note that if the search failed due to some other reason
# (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the
# next entry.
#
# Legal entries are:
#
#	nisplus or nis+		Use NIS+ (NIS version 3)
#	nis or yp		Use NIS (NIS version 2), also called YP
#	dns			Use DNS (Domain Name Service)
#	files			Use the local files
#	db			Use the local database (.db) files
#	compat			Use NIS on compat mode
#	hesiod			Use Hesiod for user lookups
#	[NOTFOUND=return]	Stop searching if not found so far
#

# To use db, put the "db" in front of "files" for entries you want to be
# looked up first in the databases
#
# Example:
#passwd:    db files nisplus nis
#shadow:    db files nisplus nis
#group:     db files nisplus nis

passwd:     files winbind
shadow:     files winbind
group:      files winbind

#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
hosts:      files dns

# Example - obey only what nisplus tells us...
#services:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#networks:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#protocols:  nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#rpc:        nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#ethers:     nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#netmasks:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files     

bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

ethers:     files
netmasks:   files
networks:   files
protocols:  files winbind
rpc:        files
services:   files winbind

netgroup:   files winbind

publickey:  nisplus

automount:  files winbind
aliases:    files nisplus

I know it's alot of information, but here it is all. When i try to log in using roberto (my domain member name) and password, i get a AUTHENCATION FAILED message. Any idea what's not working?

Thank You
