Please remember to reply to the list, not to the individual. I will reply on-list so that everyone can (hopefully) benefit from our exchange.

For each computer (NT,2k,XP) that logs on to your domain, you will need to have
set up a trust account:
$ adduser --home /dev/null --shell /bin/false --ingroup machine --force-badname
--no-create-home --disabled-login --gecos "Machine Trust Account" MYCOMPUTER$
$ smbpasswd -m -a MYCOMPUTER
for each user that logs on or accesses shares, you need to have a unix and
samba account:
$ adduser --shell /bin/false --disabled-login userbob
$ gpasswd -a userbob samba
$ smbpasswd -a userbob
The only password that matters to the user is the samba password.
The unix account provides a way to map users to unix permissions.
In order for a user to access a samba share, they must have
appropriate unix permissions on the folder, and also
meet any additional requirements set up in the share's
configuration in smb.conf

There's a lot to read. It's easy to miss stuff.

You probably want to set it all up at once. Here are the main portions
of my config to get you started.

; syslog only = no
# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything
# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smb,nmb} instead. If you want to log
