re joining domain OK, not adding users

OK I looked in the code.

My smbpasswd file is mode 600 owned by root.

I would guess the smbpasswd file is being looked at to check the
user. When joining the domain or listing I would guess this is
done as "root", as everything works.

When adding a user (WinXP), it seems to be unable to add the user
(domain trust relationship wrong or similar is the error message,
but this might be a red herring), and the failure is pdb_smbpasswd.c
can't open smbpasswd, maybe it runs as the required user so therefore
can't open it ?
