[Samba] samba pdc smbpasswd error

[Kyle Loree]

I have gotten samba to allow an xp client to logon to the domain server
before, my problem now is doing exactly that on a different machine.
I can browse files, but I get an access is denied error upon join.

That is my error from log file.
I have seen this problem mentioned elsewhere, though i have never seen a
solution, does anyone have any insight?
