1st of all i assume you are joining a domain? since my info below doesnt really apply to a workgroup. get to the bit where is allows to to change machinename/workgroup and instead of entering the server in workgroup, enter it in Domain. 2nd of all are you adding the machine into the /etc/passwd file? eg.
m6-1$:x:60101:107:Domain account for M6-1:/dev/null:/bin/false before you are trying to add them? I had this problem. When it prompted me for the Username/Password i was putting in Administrator and its password. I was half right... create root a smb account, "smbpasswd -a root PASSWORD", where PASSWORD is your prefered password (note i made mine different to the unix root password, so if someone did get hold of the smbpasswd i wouldnt be up the creak without a paddle) then when it prompts you to put in username password, put in root / password. it should work fine after that. The only thing i will say is that it was weird and seemed to take a random time to join the domain. some took 5 seconds some took 20-40 seconds one even took 2 minutes. Not sure why (anyone shead any light on this?) Hope this helps.
