Jerry,

I've looked into this a little more today.  My initial impression is
that there are two situations where we need to acquire credentials to
access a trusted domain:

1) Samba is a PDC, and is using the trust account and password
established when the trust relationship was created.

2) Samba is a member server and is using its machine account and machine
password, first to kinit to its PDC, then to connect directly to the
trusted PDC.

I believe both of these cases are covered by patch 0001.  Is there
another scenario that I'm missing?

-Steven
