really FRUSTRATED!

I don't think he's trying to set up a BDC<->PDC relationship, just
wants to join the domain with his samba server (as samba has allowed
since either late 1.9 or early 2.0 releases.)

Things to check:

1. 2k PDC is running in mixed/compatibility mode.  Samba doesnt, as
far as I know, support joining an AD only domain.
2. workstation account exists in SAM of PDC
3. smb.conf has 'security=domain' set, and 'password server=pdc bdc1
bdc2 bdc3 etc' line
4. your smbpasswd program is reading the right config files and is
part of the same distribution of samba as smbd, etc
5. [sn]mbd is not running when you try to do the smbpasswd -j bit.
