You need to have root in the smbpasswd file and when it asks for the
user name give it root and the password.

Just manually edit the /etc files or yp map files. Then when you do the
join an entry will be created in the smbpasswd file.

There is a pdf file that comes with Samba 2.2.2,
Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf, it is pretty close. There are a few syntax
problems. Also make sure you look at the DHCP-Server-Configuration.txt
file.
