[Samba] SAMBA problem

[samba at biased.org]

Hello all,

We are configuring a SAMBA server with multipile Windows 2000 computers.  We are
using Debian Sarge (Testing) and using the SAMBA software (3.0.10) that comes
with it.  We have populated the smb.conf file with just the following:

============================
netbios name = server-cardiff
workgroup = bda-cdf
passdb backend = tdbsam
os level = 65
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
security = user
domain logons = yes
============================

and then started the server, and the log shows:

Mar 16 19:23:44 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]: [2005/03/16 19:23:44, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_logonnames.c:become_logon_server_success(124)
Mar 16 19:23:44 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]:   become_logon_server_success: Samba
is now a logon server for workgroupBDA-CDF on subnet 10.3.1.3
Mar 16 19:23:44 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]: [2005/03/16 19:23:44, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_logonnames.c:become_logon_server_success(124)
Mar 16 19:23:44 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]:   become_logon_server_success: Samba
is now a logon server for workgroupBDA-CDF on subnet 10.3.1.3
Mar 16 19:23:48 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]: [2005/03/16 19:23:48, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_become_dmb.c:become_domain_master_stage2(113)
Mar 16 19:23:48 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]:   *****
Mar 16 19:23:48 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]:
Mar 16 19:23:48 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]:   Samba server SERVER-CARDIFF is now
a domain master browser for workgroup BDA-CDF on subnet 10.3.1.3
Mar 16 19:23:48 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]:
Mar 16 19:23:48 server-cardiff nmbd[5586]:   *****

Then I do an "smbpasswd -a piersk" and enter the password.

All seems OK.  Then take one Windows 2000 computer, go to System Properties,
then Network Identification, then click on "Properties", select "domain" and
type in "bda-cdf" and click on "OK" and after a while, it asks for the username
and password, and I enter "piersk" as username, and then the password, and it
always return an "Logon filure: unknown username or bad password" even tho
"pdbedit -Lv | grep piers" shows an entey.  We have been attacking this problem
for several hours and we don't know what's wrong - we even tried debug level 3
but it's not showing anything helpful - does anyone have an idea where we are
going wrong?

Thanks very much for your help in advance

Cheers - Piers
