I've seen many help requests from Samba users trying to add their server
to an NT4 domain and getting the above status return. I've generally
found that setting
domain logons = No
in the smb.conf file fixes that, but recently I've needed to set up a
Samba server which will process domain logon requests from W9x clients
(they're on a separate IP subnet from the rest of the NT domain) and so
need "Domain Logons = Yes".
The solution I've found (in Samba 2.2.5 at least) is to pre-add the
Samba box to the NT domain using the NT Server Manager AS A BACKUP
DOMAIN CONTROLLER then use the usual
smbpasswd -j DOMAIN
to synchronise the machine password.
Hope this helps others having the same problem
