Using Linux & Samba as a PDC

Hi, has anyone here had any experience of setting up Linux with Samba as a Primary Domain Controller for Windows XP systems and been sucessful? I would love to hear from you as I am trying to set it up right now, when trying to join the domain I get a box pop up asking for a username and password so I enter

username: graham
password: ****************************

and I get the error message:

---------------------------
Computer Name Changes
---------------------------
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "HOME":
The RPC server is unavailable.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
It's obviously detecting the PDC there as Its asking for the username and password, and Im also able to get files off of it through My Network Places or by mapping a drive so my username and password must be correct. Has anyone any idea what is going on? smbd, nmbd and winbindd are the services running.

Thanks

Zeph
