	Hi,
	
	I have not setup any Samba server in conjunction with a NT PDC, but the error
message means
	that there is a problem with encryption. 

	On a stand-alone Samba Server I would say that you have misconfigured one of
the following things:
	- Samba expects plain text passwords but client uses encrypted password or vice
versa
	- smbpasswd file is not setup correctly.

	Maybe this information (see also ENCRYPTION.TXT in the source distribution)
helps you a little further.

	Regards,

Axel Neumann
