You've got 'security=domain' set on the Samba machine you
want to be a PDC, haven't you.
The trust account password message is a giveaway.
You should only set 'security=domain' if you're adding
a Samba server into a domain as a *member* of a domain,
not as the PDC.
I'll add code to make smbd die if you have it set as
a PDC and 'security=domain' as people are obviously
confusing the two.
When Samba is a PDC there should be no DOMAIN.MACINE.mac
file for the domain that Samba is serving as a PDC for.
There will be a DOMAIN.MACINE.mac file on a Samba server
acting as a server in a domain.
There should always be a MACHINE.sid file.
Delete the DOMAIN.MACINE.mac file, and change the
'security=domain' line to 'security=user' on the
machine you want to act as the PDC.
