Can't user this with "encrypt passwords = yes"

This is to be used if you a domain member, not a PDC.

I'm assuming that you added the smbpasswd entry for user ilya?

Just a note, but you must use kencryptes passwords for NT 
PDC support.  This means that every user must have 
and entry in the private/smbpasswd.   Have you read the 
NTDOM FAQ?   IF not, it's under documentation on the samba 
site (http://samba.org)



Hope this helps,
