Samba PDC with a Windows 2000 client

[Rich Alimi]

I have set up a Samba PDC using the pre-3.0 version of samba.  (I last
updated my source via cvs and recompiled samba this afternoon - Apr 27,
2000.)  I have been having problems getting a Windows 2000 Professional
client to join the domain.  When I change the settings to join the domain,
Windows asks me for a username and password with permission to join the
domain.  I have not seen any mention of this username/password prompt in
documentation that I have found on the internet on both linuxworld.com and
samba.org.  When I create a user on the PDC and add the user to the
smbpasswd file and try to enter that username/password combination in the
dialog above, Windows returns a "procedure number out of range" error
message.  I have created the machine trust accounts using the following
procedure ('ralimi', 'palimi', and 'laptop' are the computernames of the 3
windows 2000 clients):

groupadd -g 800 nttrust
useradd -u 801 -g nttrust -d /dev/null -s /bin/false ralimi$
useradd -u 802 -g nttrust -d /dev/null -s /bin/false palimi$
useradd -u 803 -g nttrust -d /dev/null -s /bin/false laptop$
smbpasswd -a -m ralimi
smbpasswd -a -m palimi
smbpasswd -a -m laptop

I then rebooted the Linux machine, and once booted, I made sure that both
smbd and nmbd were running.  Then, on one of the Windows 2000 machines, I
opened the System properties, then on the Network Identification page, I
pressed Properties.  I selected the Domain option, typed 'DOMAIN' in the
edit box, then pressed OK.  Then, I received the prompt for a username and
password with permission to join the domain.

I have also included the contents of my smb.conf file at the end of this
message.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for your help,
