Chuck,

I presume that the NT domain controller is a "real" NT box.

You have to get the Samba box to join the domain.

0.  Make sure that you have "security = domain" set in your smb.conf file
(it sounds like you already have this done).

1.  Go to the PDC, run Server Manager and add your Samba box's name to the
list of NT Workstations/Servers.

2.  Go to your Samba box, logged in as root of course, and enter:

	smbpasswd -j <whatever the name is of the domain you want Samba to
join>

Restart Samba and everything should be fine.
