I saw that you guys help out on this and got it working...I'm having the same problem but the solutions provided here did not work for me.

Fedora Core 1
samba-3.0.2-7.FC1

smb.conf (dump from testparm):

[global]

When I look at /var/log/messages it gives me:
May 22 14:42:29 gildogg samba(pam_unix)[13414]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)
May 22 14:42:29 gildogg samba(pam_unix)[13414]: session closed for user root

when I try to join the domain from Windows XP Professional.

feel stupid now...forgot to create the machines group specified in my smb.conf file.
