[Samba] Joining Linux to Windows 2000 domain

[Hamish]

Make sure winbind is running (have you edited nsswitch.conf to include 
winbind?) and that nscd is not running. You can stop nscd and restart 
all the samba services with `/etc/init.d/nscd stop` then 
`/etc/init.d/smb restart` `/etc/init.d/nmb restart` `/etc/init.d/winbind 
restart`
Hope this helps
