According to M$ docs, when using windows 9x machines in an NT  (or samba)
domain setup, the WORKGROUP and DOMAIN (under winblows) MUST BE IDENTICAL,
and with NO SPACES.  Windows 9x will allow spaces in the domain/workgroup,
but NT won't.  I found out the hard way with spaces in the workgroup
name...
