OH, okay, I thought you *wanted* it to prompt for a username.  In that
case you'll only get a prompt if the credentials you're already using
are incorrect, i.e. you correctly logged into the domain, then you
connect to Samba and pass those same credentials on, Samba rejects the
credentials for whatever reason and then you get a prompt asking for a
valid username and password.

Which computer name is that?  If it's the Samba machine, it would
indicate that it hasn't correctly joined the domain.  Part of the
process of joining a domain involves creating a computer account in
Active Directory, which is the account Samba uses when it connects to
the directory to retrieve a list of users/groups.

Almost none of the domain config is stored in smb.conf, it's all
updated dynamically in the binary data files when you run commands
like 'net join'.  You'll need to run things like "net testjoin" etc. to
try to figure out why wbinfo is working but smbd isn't.

Cheers,
Adam.
