It looks like the replication is configured (is it?), but not Samba.

1)
Do you see users added on PDC also on BDC?

use "getent passwd" for that.


2)
Did you do "testparm"?
It will check your smb.conf for errors.

3)
BDC would take over domain logons (but not domain joins) only if it's 
configured properly.
In your case, it looks like it isn't.
