If this is Vista SP1 I've heard they changed some of the authentication
packet types. This broke Samba at 3.0.27a and I'm not sure if it's been
fixed yet. I'd recommend taking this to the Samba lists. They can answer
your data better than I can.

I realize this isn't a Windows mailing list :-)  But MS hears the words
Linux and Samba and they hang up on you!!!

I'm running a PE2950 with RHEL5/64 and Samba v3.0.23c-2.  

All my clients work fine and have been working for a long time ...
Except the two new WinVista boxes!  The Vista boxes will not connect to
any of the Samba shares at all.  I get an authentication box and no
combination of authentication will get me in there.  Of course the Vista
boxes connect to the Windows shares just fine...

My Samba config is as follows...

[global]
    netbios name = mvppvt125
    realm = MACHINEVISIONPRODUCTS.COM
    security = ads
    preferred master = no
    encrypt passwords = yes
    wins server = 10.0.0.122
    workgroup = MVP
    password server = *
    server string = Dell PowerVault Server
    log level = 3
    log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.log
    max log size = 50
    winbind use default domain = yes
    winbind nested groups = yes
    winbind separator = +
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
    template shell = /bin/bash

[filevault]
    comment = File Vault
    path = /filevault
    browseable = yes
    writable = yes
    create mode = 0777
    force create mode = 0777
    force directory mode = 0777

[data]
    comment = MVP Data
    path = /data
    browseable = yes
    writable = yes
    create mode = 0777
    force create mode = 0777
    force directory mode = 0777
