SAMBA NT PDC problem

[David Demland]

I have a Samba 2.0.7 Red Hat 6.1 box. We use an WindBlose Nice Try box for
the PDC. I can not get any of the Windblose boxes to log onto the Samba
server. There seems to be a problem. The Samba log file has the following
messages:

By these messages it would seem that the Samba server is not talking the
PDC. Yet when I use smbclient with the same user I log on just fine. The log
has these messages:

[2000/11/14 10:53:30, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(550)
  cadtel2 (127.0.0.1) connect to service sys as user nobody (uid=99, gid=99)
(pid 5086)
[2000/11/14 10:56:03, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583)
  cadtel2 (127.0.0.1) closed connection to service sys

This would lead to the believe that the Samba server is talking to the PDC.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Thank You,
