samba - Feb 2002 - [Fwd: SAMBA PDC Problems]

Hi,

I am a newbie trying to make Samba work in my small home network. I have 
configured SAMBA on the Linux machine (RH 7.2, Enigma) as the Domain PDC.
When I attempt to log on from windows 9.x machine I get either of 
the following error messages. 

2. Your domain password is incorrect or the log on  server has denied access
   to you.
when I test the configuration by typing

1. smbclient -NL //win.9x machine, I get all the shares registered.

2. smbclient -NL //linux server, I get the following error message.

session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password 
pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.). 

When I check the log file the following message is appended to the log.
[2002/02/19 21:15:48, 0] smbd/password.c:server_cryptkey(1117)
password server not available

I am reproducing the global section of smb.conf file below:

Ahmad,

Thank you for your response. I have not been able to figure out how to 
get rid of the response
"the domain password you supplied is incorrect or your log on server has 
denied access".
log file indicates that the it is unable to verify trust account.

Can you help me out.

Best,
Mohan
