I upgraded (a side by side migration) from RH 7.3 to RH EN v.3 and one of the packages was samba acting as a PDC. Was working beautifully, but now some XP machines don't see the new server at login. Password are cached so not a huge problem. One machine didn't cache the password. I deleted the machine account from the samba PDC, put it into a workgroup. I then tried to add it to the domain and I get "can not find user" as root. root is there and valid. When I use a bad password for root, it says that I am using a bad password - so it sees the user? Nothing unusual in the logs and event viewer.
I migrated by:
1. copying passwd, shadow, group 2. copying smbpasswd 3. creating the ntadmin group 4. modifying the smb.conf file
I ran into this same problem. There is one more thing you need to do:
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmin
