I created separate machine accounts looking like this: test-machine$:*:201:201::0:0:Machine account Test machine:/dev/null:false lexus$:*:201:201::0:0:Machine account for a Lexus:/dev/null:false and then proceed to make machine accounts with syntax of "smbpasswd -a -m lexus$"
And both machines reported that they joined the domain correctly. Seems weird that this would happen this way. Any suggestions on how to get at least on machine to login to the domain again... seems I have to reinstall samba for it to work again. (very, very strange.) Any suggestions are welcomed.

We're running 3 offices from a Samba PDC, (samba-2.2.4_1) and it works fine. Did you create separate machine accounts for each machine in /etc/passwd? Does the 2nd machine report that it has joined the domain? We have about 50 XP machines here running from 2.2.4_1 and working fine.
