Am I right to believe that the machine user clement$ is the (NetBIOS) name 
of the computer you want to join to the domain?

Also, have you done an 
# smbpasswd -a root
on the PDC machine? Because you cannot use a regular user such as 
(I believe) clement to add the machine to the domain, it needs to be a
Samba root user (or a user with Samba-root privileges, although I have
experienced problems with that, but didn't investigate them). So after 
doing the 
# smbpasswd -a root
and giving it a password (preferrably not the same as the Unix root
user) you should try again to join the computer to the domain, this
time using "root" as username (and the Samba password you just gave) in
the dialog box on the client machine.

I found this how-to quite useful, maybe it can help you:

Your smb.conf looks quite reasonable, didn't find anything wrong in
there.
