Hi Robert
I will post the latest version smb.conf file below. I have followed the
instructions in http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-
Collection/FastStart.html section "Domain Controller" for the most part.
I have one server (TAU) and one Windows XP client (vm-201). I can get
vm-201 to join my BC workgroup but not the domain. I am rebooting the XP
machine and restarting samba on TAU between experiments.
I have just noticed the following error in the log file which I think is
at the bottom of all this! When I try to get the XP box to join the BC
domain it asks for a username and password, I give tom ****** and then
Windows says
"Computer Name Changes"
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "BC":
The user name could not be found.
<OK>

It seems that the machine could not be created when trying to join the
domain.
Did you try to create the machine account manually? I mean, typing
directly in the shell the corresponding commands.
Good luck.
