Thanks for the suggestion, but this was already in place.

Just for the record, here's my smb.conf (mostly created by swat):

[global]
        workgroup = *******
        log level = 2
        netbios name = CENTER
        server string = %h server (Samba %v)
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        obey pam restrictions = Yes
        pam password change = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
        unix password sync = Yes
        syslog = 0
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 1000
        time server = Yes
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 64
        preferred master = True
        domain master = True
        local master = True
        dns proxy = No
        invalid users = root
        security = user
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
        wins support = yes
        logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u
        logon drive = H:
        logon home = \\center\%u
        logon script = logon.cmd
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

[netlogon]
        path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
        read only = yes
        write list = ntadmin

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        create mask = 0700
        directory mask = 0700
        read only = no

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /tmp
        create mask = 0700
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No
