Yes, the smbpasswd file is fully populated. I'm able to connect to the NT
member server using my domain username/password with smbclient, and I can also
do domain authentication with FrontPage against IIS running on the NT machine;
the only thing that I can't use domain authentication for is logging into the
NT server locally.

That was my conclusion, as well. I'm going to see if I can find out exactly
when this problem showed up in CVS...
