samba FS, NT PDC

[Stephen Waters]

i believe the problem is that Samba misunderstands the win98 client... 
that it should authenticate just the username and password against the 
NTPDC rather than passing along the domain as well... when the user gets 
to the remote site, i'm going to have him change his workgroup name to 
amicus. that will probably work, but it'd be nice if it worked with him 
in a different workgroup.
