yes, this is a connection on internal loopback from smbd using netlogond
to verify the user PSEUDO$.  which tells me that you have the wrong trust
account password (smbpasswd -m -a pseudo$ set the wrong password,
possibly).

ok, can you do a netmon trace, i need to see how far joining gets, and
also send an smb.conf file?  thx.
