[Samba] Samba 2.2.8a and XP Domain logon

[Victor Mendez]

Hi, I am using Samba 2.2.8a on SuSE Linux 9.0 and I have the following problem
when trying to connect my windows XP machines to samba server I wgt the
following error:

[2004/08/22 23:14:37, 2] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_lookup_domain(2055)
  Returning domain sid for domain NETSYS ->

  netbios connect: local=cuzco remote=vmblptp
[2004/08/22 23:14:38, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(511)
  Closing connections

And the connection fails.

Also I noticed  that the passwd file has the following rights:
-rw-------    1 root     root          753 Aug 22 22:42 smbpasswd

I tried to change the permission to 640 by issuing the : 
chmod 640 /etc/samba/smbpasswd 

-rw-r-----    1 root     root          753 Aug 22 22:42 smbpasswd

(like the documentation states but after I try to logon the file permission are
reset to 400!!!???)
-rw-------    1 root     root          753 Aug 22 22:42 smbpasswd

Any Ideas on what the problem is.

I also include my smb.conf file configuration  see below:
