It sounds like you're trying to use samba as a pdc for your w2k machine,
is this right? If so have you created the machine account on Tru64 for
your w2k machine (see samba pdc howto docs, ref below) using:

root# /usr/bin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c "w2k machine comment" -s
/bin/false w2k_machine_name$
root# passwd -l w2k_machine_name$
root# smbpasswd -a -m w2k_machine_name


note the $ sign after w2k_machine_name above but not with smbpasswd; and
have you made root a samba user using:

root# smbpasswd -a root  

and then respond to the chat to enter a password but I don't think you
have to use root's Tru64 password.

The only user who can add a machine to a domain is root. The message you
are getting is the same as I got before I realised I hadn't made root a
samba user. 

There is a samba complete howto collection including a sample smb.conf
at http://samba.mirror.aarnet.edu.au/samba/docs/

Hope this helps.
