Join NT/win2000 into a Samba Domain

[Elrond]

Well, the explanation is quite simple:

Luke hasn't much interest in win9x. (for reasons, that I
understand.)

And I haven't much interest either and I haven't got _any_
9x-box near me. At the university, we only have nt and some
realy old dos-boxes, at work, there's realy only nt
everywhere (umm... and only a few know, what samba is) and
at home, I'm happy, that someone borrowed me his laptop
with nt on it.

And I don't know, if Luke has access to 9x...

And since Luke and me are the only ones, who work on TNG...
