samba - Jun 2006 - Windows XP 64-bit, Samba 3 and permissions

Hi guys

I've been running Samba 3 for a while as my PDC in our office with a number
of XP clients and a MacOS 10 client, without undue problems.

Recently, though, we upgraded a couple of workstations to 64bit and these
two workstations now have problems getting up the user dialog that 32bit XP
has no problem with.

When you select a folder, go to it's security options and hit 'add'
to add a
user. This brings up a dialog which reads:

	"The program cannot open the required dialog box because it cannot
determine whether the computer named "server" is joined to a domain.
Close
this message, and try again."

Then if you close it, you get the following message pop up:

	"Unable to display the user selection dialog. This action is only
valid for products that are currently installed."

I've no idea why this is a problem. The Samba box is configured as a PDC and
doesn't appear to cause problems for any other workstations.

For ref, I am running Samba 3.0.22 and my smb.conf is included below.

Any thoughts on this? Chances are it's a config problem, but it's just
very
bizarre.

Thanks,

Justin
