I have been having the same problem with TNG and workstations. It looks
like a permissions problems.

Do you have the 'domain group map = ' or 'domain alias map = ' lines in
your smb.conf? I use domain group map =
[smbroot]/private/domaingroup.map which contains:

root="Domain Admins"
users="Domain Users"

I also have domain alias map=[smbroot]/private/domainalias.map with the
line:

root=Administrator

It appears to have caused me to be able to log into the domain from an
NT box.

I'm not 100% sure about it, but it works, so I ain't touching it.

Hope it helps,
Matt
