Hi,
I am migrating a ubuntu server to a centos one.  The ubuntu server is
working and new server even tough it's running I can't join the domain from
a new machine.  The new server is not on production so the client (win xp)
is connected via a crossover cable.

The error message on the client is something like user/password invalid (I
am using the root user/password of the server).

The log files on the server shows

  *****

  Samba name server MYDOMAIN is now a local master browser for workgroup
MYDOMAIN on subnet 192.168.1.254
