fun with PDC logins

[Allen Reese]

I have had this happen to me before...  What I did was smbpasswd -m trow$
then trow as the passwd.  where trow is the machine name.

Every once in a while one of our nt boxes, does that same thing.  Usually
it is right after reinstalling NT and setting it up to join.

Hope that Helps....
