Matthew,

You're right -- if I configure the Win9x box to log onto the NT domain, and
log on using a valid user/password, I'm able to connect to the PDC for
fileservice.  But this means that the Win9x box can only ever connect to one
Samba-run PDC at a time.  Is this also a known limitation with NT PDCs?  I
would think it isn't.

For the time being at least, we only have one NT domain to deal with, so this
will work for us here.  But it still smells like a bug to me...
