Eric;

I found a mistake in my code (doy) and now the problem is just about
opposite:

I am unable to make this authentication work with a real PDC or BDC. 

My script looks like:

foreach $server (list of BDCs and our PDC) {
  $authResult=Authen::Smb::authen('valid user',	'valid passsword', 
		$server, $server, 'domain');
  if ($authResult==0) {
	print "Success";
 } else {
	print "Failure: $authResult";
 }
}
The PDC and BDCs all return 1.  For grins and chuckles, I added our
samba server to the list and got 0.  (Hurrah for the Samba team.)

I also played around with the server names.  Our servers' names
(netbios) != dns names.  I tried using both versions with the same
results (1).

Samba uses domain authentication so it would be practical to have this
script talk directly to the NT servers.  

What service packs are installed on your servers?

p.s.  I dumped the NO_ERROR business and went for straight integers.
