samba - Jan 2004 - win2k wont join domain; tried everything

I have a fresh installation of Windows 2000. I added the machine account
to the samba server but no matter what I do, I can't get it to join the
domain.

I believe the problem lies with my samba server. The new "net"
commandis
very confusing to me and I believe I messed something up.I am now unable
to login with the root user no matter what; which is required for loggin
Win2K into a domain.

I have done all of the "obvious" things such as "smbpasswd -a
root", etc.

What i really want to know is where all the setting are stored for the
"net" command and just clear it all out and start over. And maybe the
list
of steps required to get this working (domain logon) as i can not find any
recent info thats very comprehendable.

I have tried that. That was one of the first preliminary things I did. 
That isnt the problem. Its with windows 2000, where you have to type in 
a username and password to join a domain, and its not accepting root, 
and my password.

There was a bug in 3.0.1 that prevented pre sp2 win2k clients from joining
a Samba domain.  Fixed in 3.0.2pre1.

You have not given us any of the basic information we would need to
debug this.  Like the Samba version, logfiles, client error messages...

If this is 3.0.1, then either back down to 3.0.0, grab a 3.0.2 release
candidate or wait till 3.0.2 is out.  There were some errors with
joining the domain with this client.
