I remember seeing a reference to the "password server"field. I'll check it
again. Didn't see that in the smb.conf file.
Already have the account on the PDC and smbpasswd ran successfully. It stated
I had joined the domain.
I'll keep looking. I'm really hopefull of an all NT domain solution with
samba.
BTW, I noticed the smb.log file is complaining of no UNIX passwd reference to
my user account. Boy I hope I don't have to do that..
