samba-tng 1.8 woes..

[Matt Monacelli]

First, check the smbpasswd file to make sure the password is there (not
the XXXNO PASSWORDXXX).  If you're ok there, then you may need to user
the domainuser.map and domaingroup.map (see the TNG FAQ at
http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/samba_tng/faq/index.php3

Good luck!
