Have you joined the domain?

First, on the PDC, add CDVISION to the domain:

  Start Menu -> Administrative Tools -> Server Manager

Then join from the Samba side:

  smbpasswd -j MALONE

Finally, make sure you have local Unix usernames corresponding to the
users you want to give access to.  Passwords etc. don't matter as long
as the usernames match.  (And that doesn't matter, either, if you set
up a username map -- see the docs for details.)
