RFA: configuration: No Domain Server to validate your password

Hi. I have a NT server which I'm replacing with my new FreeBSD server.
I'm running samba.2.0.6. I exported my NT passwords with the pwdump
utility, and wrote a script to add the new accounts to my
/etc/master.passwd (et al) files. When I kill the NT server and restart
Samba with the PDC configuration file I get the following log in
log.nmb, but when a user tries to boot they get the "No Domain Server to
validate your password" error.

Can someone please help me figure what I've missed, or point me to a
checklist or something? If I set debug=9 will that help give me more
information to troubleshoot?

Thanks,
John
