samba - Feb 2003 - samba config help please

I have a rh8.0 server that I'm trying to configure. The PDC is an NT box
providing domain logins,  and for the moment all I want Samba to do is
provide storage. I would like for all the users to be able to access
individual private shares acording to their respective accounts, and one
large share for common usage. Presently, all of the w2k/xpPro boxes can both
see the shares and map them. The individual shares are asking for passwords,
which is good, but none of the passwords I know of work, at least not in
user/password format. The public share maps for the w2k/xp boxes but won't
allow anything to be saved there. Running 'smbpasswd -j <domain> -r
<PDC> -U
<NT Admin>' hasn't worked, it just says 'can't join
<domain>'. Any insight
would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks,
Dave

I'm trying to use samba shares on a RedHat 8 server for storage on my
network with an NT box as PDC.

OK, the join domain commands:

[root@localhost samba]# smbpasswd -j INFOWARE -r 192.168.1.180 -U
Administrator
Password:
Error connecting to 192.168.1.180
Unable to join domain INFOWARE.
[root@localhost samba]# smbpasswd -j INFOWARE -r 192.168.1.180
cli_net_req_chal: Error NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME
cli_nt_setup_creds: request challenge failed
modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine
192.168.1.180. Error was : NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL.
2003/02/12 13:38:36 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change
password for domain INFOWARE.
Unable to join domain INFOWARE.

so I manually added the box to the domain on the NT box. The windows boxes
can see the server but not the shares with security = DOMAIN set. With
security = SERVER the windows boxes can see the server and the shares as
well as mapping the public share, but you can't do anything with the mapped
share. The home directory is visable and windows tries to map, but
authentication fails.

Yes, everyone can ping everyone else...

any ideas???
