only added this very recently (2 wks ago) to cvs main.  it's set to
default value (wks name in lower case).

you are correct.... ONLY if one user has NOT been logged on from the nt
wks since it was joined to the domain OR if smbpasswd -j does not set
password to a random value but sets to "wks name in lower case" too.

when 1st usr logs in from nt wks, NetrServerPasswordSet is sent, changing
wks dflt val to random one.

in other words, you can only really have ONE wks with synchronised wks
trust pwd and therefore only one wks per netbios name (and one netbios
name per wks, whatever way you want to look at it).
