The thing is nothing comes up in my logs at all, 
im posting my smb.conf below.

Ive added and deleted and added again my machine and user accounts, when
joining a domain from a win2k box, I actually DO get through to the
domain, but it then turns away my root log-in (for first time)

my smbpasswd file is in the right place and looked up ok!

[global]
        ;basic server settings
        workgroup = radhakrishnan
        netbios name = monster
        server string = Samba PDC running %v

        local master = yes
        domain master = yes

        ;security and logging settings
        security = user

        ; next line is 9x/ME specific
        logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile
        logon drive = H:
        logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
        ;netlogon
        logon script = netlogon.bat

Sorry... forget that bit about 2nd point - I can't count!

Also, have you found and checked the logs yet? Does anything get written to 
the log when this fails? It usualy does.
