I had a similar problem. I read the text document DOMAIN_MEMBER.TXT, however,
I missed the portion that said..."You must also have the parameter
"encrypt
passwords" set to "yes" in order for your users to authenticate
to the NT PDC."
So I edited my [global] to look like:
security = domain
encrypt passwords = yes
and things worked much better.
Regarding smbpasswd, change directories to your samba directory
(/usr/local/samba) and from the command line enter:
>./smbpasswd -j YOUR-NT-DOMAIN -r YOUR-PDC-NAME
When you mentioned "I have a computer account on my domain for the linux
box .."
I hope you meant that you ran SRVMGR.EXE and added your Samba machine to the
domain. If you haven't, you'll need to do that before running
smbpasswd.
I hope that helps,
Steve
