It is always good to post more info like the output of testparm -s
(smb.conf) and the Role the Samba server has. PDC?
I assume you use RedHat Enterprise Server 5.2 with Samba 3.x

Example:
Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
map to guest = Bad User
passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd
printcap name = cups
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon drive = P:
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
domain logons = Yes
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
usershare allow guests = Yes
usershare max shares = 100
idmap uid = 10000-20000
idmap gid = 10000-20000
cups options = raw

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
browseable = No

[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Service
path = %H
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
store dos attributes = Yes

[users]
comment = All users
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/

[groups]
comment = All groups
path = /home/groups
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
create mask = 0600
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin, root
force group = ntadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775

[klanten]
comment = Klanten bestanden
path = /data/KLANTEN/
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
write list = root
