Can you give me any hints on how to find such information in the log files? My
log level is 5, and I can find some password change messages in the logs, but I
don't know how to check if they are looking for any domain controller or
just the PDC when they wish to change their passwords...

Anyhow, I do find "Server Password Set Wksta:[XXX$]" type of messages
in the log files of all of the servers, both the master and the slaves. So could
this be indicating that the machines are actually communicating with the wrong
server to change their passwords..? Can this be corrected with "security =
server"? (Will it relay the password change to the server specified with
"password server = ..."?)

IIRC the client should contact the PDC (domain<0x1b>).  But can you check 
the logs and see if the clients are trying to change it on domain<0x1c> 
(any DC)?  Thanks.
