[Samba] no logon servers available

[Stephen Loughin]

After reading the O'Reilly book by JayTs, Robert Eckstein and David 
Collier-Brown, I've tried to set up my RH 7.3 box as a PDC

I have two Wintel boxes, 1 Win2K and 1 Win98SE. (yes I restarted them both 
after firing up smbd and nmbd)

After starting smbd and nmbd I can run smbclient on my RH7.3 box and read 
the stuff
on the Win98 box.

Going the other way,  however, I get this:

C:\>net use * \\homefire\tmp
System error 1311 has occurred.

There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon 
request.

I get variations on this theme if I try to map a drive etc.
If I use Network Neighborhood, I can see my samba server, but if I try
to use it, I get a password prompt and no matter what I put in for userid 
and
password, I get a variant of "no logon servers available".

Here's what the log file shows:

[2003/05/07 05:04:46, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(176)
 get_md4pw: Workstation sloughin$: no account in domain
[2003/05/07 05:05:59, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(461)
 Closing connections
[2003/05/07 05:19:46, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(327)
 Allowed connection from  (192.168.0.102)
[2003/05/07 05:19:47, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(176)
 get_md4pw: Workstation sloughin$: no account in domain
[2003/05/07 05:20:45, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(461)
 Closing connections


This seems to be a common problem -- I've seen it on other networks
and you get more than a few hits if you google for "no logon servers"+samba

Yet, I've not seen a good summary of typical causes of this problem.

Any help would be APPRECIATED!

Here are all the non-comment lines in my smb.conf
