[Samba] Joining xp client to samba nt4 domain problem

[Bill Uhl]

Hi,

I am trying to join xp clients to an NT4 style domain based on a samba 
server. The join appears to work and the welcome message pops up. Upon 
restarting the client, I am not able to log in using domain accounts. 
When I log in as the local admin, I find that the domain account groups 
have not been added to the local groups. Once I add the domain accounts 
manually, everything seems to work fine.

Prior experience was that the groups were added automatically as part of 
the joining the domain process. After skimming back through the 
documentation and googling the problem, I still have no idea where to 
look next.
