[Samba] Win XP Pro / Linux PDC

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure Samba as a PDC.  I'm running Debian Woody, hence
Samba version 3.0.0final-1.  We have no Windows servers anywhere on the
network (yay!).

I have done an smbpasswd for root, and add machine script is setup (see
attached smb.conf).  From the XP Pro workstation, when I fill in the domain
name, log in as root, and click ok, I eventually get: "The following error
occurred when attempting to join the domain CHHAUSMANN: access denied".

I know that something is working, because if I type in the wrong root
password, I get a different error - "unknown username or bad password".

In /var/log/samba/log.nmbd, I get things like:
[2004/01/13 00:27:24, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(95)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 192.168.0.101: code = 0x12
[2004/01/13 00:27:24, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(95)
  process_logon_packet: Logon from 192.168.0.101: code = 0x7


I'm about to use the source, but can anyone give me any pointers?  I also
looked at

and followed the instructions there, but trying to join the domain as
machineadmin just returns "The user name could not be found.".
