I believe RHEL3 comes with samba 2.x am I correct?
If that's the case, there needs to be an NT domain emulator (I believe
that's what it's called?) running on one of the domain controllers in
order to perform NT4 calls.  That's how I do it here, the problem with
that config is it makes the NT domain emulator machine a single point
of failure.

If it's Samba 3.x, you can use this to join it to the AD domain:

When your running in a domain environment, share's are usually only
available to authenticated users.
