[Samba] Struggling to get SAMBA and Windows working together

[Paul Hong]

Here are some of the things you might want to add
to your samba.conf when you have your Samba server join the domain.

Security=domain   "set the security parameter to domain".
workgroup= "domain name"
password server = "Must list PDC and any BDC"
encrypt passwords=yes "when join domain, must be set to yes"

Hope this helps.
