Actually I was thinking about this the other day. The advantages of being
able to join a domain from a command line is that I could rshd into an NT
box (I have a rshd on every nt client) and rejoin, exit, etc... as long as
the machine was on the network. Very handy I think.
My idea was that you would simply have to duplicate the the RPC made
when one used the network control panel. Sound right?
