I don't know what your OS is. I am using Linux RH6.1.
You don't need to createuser as trust account in smbpasswd file, but you
must add machine trust account in /etc/passwd.

Yup, that mean you must use user in smbpasswd file [Domain-Samba Users].

Domain-Samba Users.
If you want to login from Win2K to Samba Domain, you must setting Domain of
Win2K to Samba Domain.
In this case you must joining Samba Domain. Then you can loging from Win2K
to Samba domain using Domain Users.
