samba - Jan 2002 - Weird Windows Messenger and Samba Domain problem

I'm having a very weird problem here. 

I've just configured a Samba Domain with roaming profiles in my RH 7.2 box,
Loaded the necessary registry settings on my Windows XP pro Clients, I created
the necessary machine accounts and the Windows XP clients joined the domain
without any problem. But after a couple of hours I noticed that the Windows
Messenger wasn't starting when I'm connected to the domain, but when
I'm connected using any local accounts it works without any problem.

I'd like to know if anybody have a clue if this is a user rights problem and
how could I manage to get it working.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Alessandro,

Sorry, I can't be of assistance to you as you are further down the track
than I am, but you may be able to help me out.

I can't even get Win XP clients to join a domain, I must be missing
something. I have done the registry hack, and tried manually and using an
add user script to create trust accounts to no avail. Would it be possible
for you email me a sanitised copy of your smb.conf file and let me know how
you went about setting up trust accounts and joining the domain with XP.

Thanks
