It is most likely a problem with your smb.conf file. I would suggest going
to the samba Site and getting a new package. I know that the developement
(ALPHA) samba servers have both encrypted password support, NT Domain
support and a nice Web interface for configuring Samba. I am currently
Running Samba-2.0.0-alpha8 and I have connections to my domain (with
encryped passwords), and using the Web interface, was able to configure the
server in less than 5 min. The Web configuration tool is called SWAT. It
works really well. You can run it through either CGI, or through Inetd.
I hope this helps.
