Domain logon problems with 10.Mar.99 CVS source

>nice to see you use samba at the ETHZ :)

We are going to use samba for file sharing anyway for the NT workstations
in the student labs. I would like to have at least the personal student
accounts managed by a samba PDC to keep passwords in sync with the
UNIX workstations and because it will be definitely easier to manage for ous. :)

Yes, this was set up correctly as the NT workstation I used for tests
could join the 'SAMBA' domain of the samba server. I got the "Welcome
to the SAMBA domain" message and rebooted the workstation. When I now try
to log in with an account to the SAMBA domain, it fails. I have verified
that the initial password that was created by 'smbpasswd -a -m machinename'
got changed after the domain was joined. It did.
