samba pdc login problem

[Cyber Source]

assuming you have your smb.conf file ok, here are some necessary changes 
to be made on the xp boxes that want to join your smb pdc.
1. Disable all the digital encryption in the xp box's local security 
settings for domain use.
2. To stop the xp box from trying to access an active directory on the 
domain controller, start gpedit.msc, computer configuration, windows 
settings, security settings, public key policies and change the setting 
in autoenrollment settings.

The biggie is the digital encryption stuff. Change your local policy in 
adminstrative tools, local security, local policies and then all the 
digital encryption stuff accordingly.
