Dear samba gurus!

this is what i use:

- Linux slackware 9.1(Server)
- Windows 2000pro(client)
- Windows XPpro(client)
- Samba 3.0

I have fightning with a problem for 2 days now and still can't get any hang of it.
I have set up my samba server to act as a PDC, for windows 2000pro/XPpro clients.
Now i want my windows2k machine to join my domain, i created in my smb.conf.

here is my smb.conf

[global]
netbios name = bender
workgroup = MORDOR
os level = 65
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
security = user
domain logon = yes
logon path = \\bender\profiles\%u
logon drive = Z:
logon home = \\bender\%u
logon script = logon.cmd
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g smbusers -s /bin/false -M %u
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false -M %u
wins support = yes

[netlogon]
path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
public = no
read only = no
write list = root
browseable = no
valid users = root smbusers

[profiles]
path = /home/winprof
read only = no
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = no
valid users = root smbusers
[homes]
valid users = %S
read only = no
browseable = no

I'm running 'testparm smb.conf' and there is no problem, it says it's a ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC which is a good thing ;).

In the netlogon share i create logon.cmd file and make it a dos file with my favorite editor vim.

here's the content of logon.cmd:

REM windows client logon script
REM

net time \\bender /SET /YES
net use Z: \\bender\homes /PERSISTENT:NO

I'm setting smbpasswd -a root and tarting smbd -D & nmbd -D

On my win2k i have set my samba server ip-address in the WINS settings+NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

When i'm going to 'System propertites and put my domain name 'MORDOR' in this case, a login prompt appears and i entering root+password(smbpasswd).
At this moment it fails. A pop-up window appears and it couldn't find the username.

As you can see i'm trying to do an On-the-fly creation, but i have also tried it manually and the same f*ing window appears.

It's probely a small problem but big for me ;)

what to do?
