You'll have to ensure they are in the same workgroup, and for the 
begining thats all. If you want, and if you configured samba for it you 
can later join them in a samba controled domain then you must change 
from workgroup to domain. Beware if you wants to add them automaticaly, 
you must ensure, that root is in smbpasswd (or equivalent, see ldapsam, 
tdbsam, etc)  and there aren't any shares in use on the client to be joined.

I wish you good luck for this!
