[Samba] Authenticating users using server=domain

[Daniel Buchmann]

I get this error on my PDC:

"The session setup from the computer UTVIKLE failed to authenticate. The
name of the account referenced in the security database is UTVIKLE$.
The following error occured:
Access is denied."

What is this UTVIKLE$ account?
How do I get the samba server to use the UTVIKLE$ account?

Anyone seen this before..?
