[Samba] Win98 join a PDC

[Alex Moen]

Tried this... didn't help.

An update: I got the Win2K machine to finally join the domain using "root"
and it's password.  I hate that, but I am using a different password for the
samba side than the Unix side.

Also, I can log in using my regular domain account on the Win2K server
perfectly.  So, obviously samba is configured properly, and there's
something specific to Win98 that I am missing...

It is ultimately consistent in logging in every other time... even after a
logout, it takes two login attempts to get back in on the Win98 client.

Wierd.
