If you compiled it yourself and didn't change the path, the default path 
for the private dir is /usr/local/samba/private.  Most 
distributions/packagers use /var/lib/samba/private instead.

The only other thing beyond what's already been suggested to check that I 
can think of is to make sure /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf are set up 
properly.  Make sure your hostname points to your DNS IP and not 127.0.0.1 
in /etc/hosts, and make sure /etc/resolv.conf points at your domain 
controllers' DNS.  DC2 should point to DC1 as it's first DNS server (and 
vice versa, once DC2 is working properly).
