In my understanding "domain logon = yes" tells Samba to become a domain
controller. As the workgroup setting will be the same as the domain name of
your NT PDC they will be rivaling. Just set it to no, if you want the NT to be
your PDC in this domain.

OTOH it is interesting to understand what happens, when a PDC tries to
delegate authentication with security=server/domain. I tried once
security=server in order to see whether I could have two domains using the
same password server (something like a trust).

Regards, Axel.
