samba - Oct 2003 - WIN XP Logging on after joining domain -- possible bug?

I am running samba version 3.0.1pre1

I was able to join my XP machine to my samba domain without problems,
however after joining, I cannot log in.

Nmbd is running and smbd is set at debug level 2.  Here is an excerpt from
the log:

[2003/10/16 19:50:44, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(105)

  Closing connections

Othello is my server and Romeo is my workstation.  I notice that in the
section about check_ntlm_password there is no name in the [] and I would
expect there to be.  Any suggestions?  Here is the important stuff in my
config:

[global]
netbios name = othello
workgroup = webbhq
passdb backend = tdbsam
os level = 33
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
security = user
domain logons = yes
logon path = \\othello\profiles\%u
logon drive = h:
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 101 -s /bin/false -M
%u

[netlogon]
path = /server/netlogon
read only = yes
write list = ntadmin

[profiles]
path = /server/profiles
read only = no
create mask = 600
directory mask = 0700

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Nothing in Samba is sacrosanct. It is my purpose to question the quality
of all work I do.

I will not rest until the HOWTO is complete and can not be improved upon.
To achieve that I need help from real people, like you.

The fact that I took pride in the work done is self evident, that does not
give me the right to a king sized ego about the HOWTO. I do however
believe that I have every responsibility to continue to improve the
documentation until everone who reads it writes to this list and says,
"Wow! I found exactly what I needed after opening the first page!".

Until that happens, please keep the feedback coming so we can improve it
further. Spare nothing in telling me what needs to be improved. If you
find an error, or just something that is not clear to you, tell me.

Above all, please be sure to contribute all tips, nifty techniques, perls
of wizdom (however small), pointers to valuable information, and anything
that saved you even one minute. The quest to improve the documentation has
barely begun.

Anyone, everyone, tell me more of what information you need to help you to
get more value out of Samba. This is a community effort, you can make a
difference - do not let the opportunity go by.
