have a SuSE v10.3 primary domain controller and several Windows XP clients. I am able to add the win client computers to the domain with no problem, but when I try to add the users (which are already added to Samba on the server) I get a message saying that user doesn't exist. When I click "browse" to see a list of user accounts available only "root" and "nobody" with a white x in a red circle over it shows up. any ideas why my users aren't showing up?? I am VERY new to Linux, so any help is appreciated.

I was told to add them as local users on the linux machine. when i tried to add them using useradd, the computer told me they already existed. how can I make my windows clients see the users ?
 
Did you just add the users to Linux or did you also add them specifically to samba?

You probably have to do:

# useradd -s /bin/false sly
# passwd sly
# smbpasswd -a sly

The last line adds the unix user to Samba
