Xubuntu Linux Active Directory Login with Likewise

Hi,

I have an issue where we need a school to have Xubuntu to authenticate against active directory.  I have installed likewise and the Netbook is able to join the domain.  When I open active directory I see that the Netbook is on the domain.

When I choose to login with my domain\username and password it authenticates and then it automatically logs me off.  When go to the home folders I see that there is a Likewise folder and within that I see my domain user.

If I try to log in from the terminal using su - domainname\\username and my password then it works

I am not sure what I am doing wrong it seems that everything should work

Thank you for your help in advance
