Member server not accessing Samba PDC

Here is my situation. I have a Samba server 2.2.0alpha2 running on
Redhat 7.0. I have set it up to be a “PDC”samba server. I have a
NT4.0-SP5 workstation added to its domain and am able to get login
services and share access on the “PDC” without issue. I even have login
scripts running at login. I also have a Samba server 2.2.0alpha2 running
on a Solaris 2.7 box. I am trying to set it up as a “member” server. I
have added in the machine account to the “PDC” (in both the etc/passwd
and the smbpasswd files)  and did a “smbpasswd –j DOMAIN” on the “member
server”. I got a “Joined the domain” message.  I enter all of the user
accounts to the “member” server’s /etc/passwd file. However, when I try
to access the shares on the “member” server from the NT4.0 workstation,
no matter what username and password I try I can not gain access to
them. I get the following error in the samba log on the “member” server.

Log.”member” server

I am at a lose as to what to do next to resolve this. I have read the
“Howto” and “FAQ” numerous times and have not found anything to change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
