I'm seeing this problem as well, and while our Windows servers are using Active Directory, my samba configuration is employing the "server = domain" technique, and the password server is the one Windows AD DC that's in NT emulation mode.
Authentications seem to work okay, and users can navigate just fine, but every client has lots of these pdb_init_sam failed errors in its respective log file.
pdb looks like password database, and sam is specifically a unix thing, so I'm not sure the Windows servers are involved at this point. I'm wondering if I need to create an 'empty' password database on the unix server, or otherwise find a way to tell Samba not to bother with such, and to just use strictly Windows authentication for Samba clients.
Is this turning on any lightbulbs?

Hi
We ran into exactly the same problem (although the AD is from W2K), but didn't find a solution yet. I've increased the logging from Samba to pinpoint the problem and it appears that the AD simply does not reply to a request to authenticate the Domain Admin. We are now working on the diagnostic output of the Directory Service on the Micro$oft server to see what's happening over there (ref to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314980&sd=tech) .
Not much of a help yet, so anyone who has some ideas or pointers??

From a Windows Client the Domain Admin can connect \\server\Administrator without troubles.
So what could be wrong?
