In addition to my heartfelt thanks expressed privately earlier, thanks
once again for setting me on the track of this one.  In fact you were
right, it wasn't the same bug, it was two completely different ones.
No wonder this had me tearing out what little is left of my hair. :0

The reason that the problem only surfaced on Windows 2000 machines
(and, as it turned out, only some of (some of them)) was that only
clients using 'export restricted' SSL (STUNNEL.DLL) were affected.

Tracking down the problem was greatly confused by Samba bug #8881,
where it seems that auth fails if the Active Directory user name is
different from the Unix user name, and you're using username mapping.
Fortunately it was relatively quick to pin this bug down once the SSL
issue was cleared up.

Any news about this one?  It's a r.*al pain here and I'm a little bit
surprised that it doesn't seem to be biting more people.
