Hi,
You have to specify "security = domain" to authenticate against a PDC.
Your
setting means authentication against any other ordinary Samba server.
For more details about joining a NT domain look into DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt in
the documentation path of your source distribution or on the Samba web
site.
