Hello Mr. Sharpe:
	Ok heres a little dillema i am having.  I have bulit and tried 2.2.0-cvs,
2.2.0-prealpha1, 2.0.7, HEAD 3.0, and TNG.  TNG won't work at all (IT's
broken and not documented anywhere close to enough!) The 2.2.0 CVS PDC is
working for my NT4 and W98 clients, it has an odd numbered domain and has
been compiled using the SAMBA_2_2 tag for cvs.  Moreover mabye a lack of
judgement on my part but it is in a "production " environment.  Now a lot of
people say that they have thier samba working with domain logons from W2K ,
if they could mail me ther smb.conf files (and domaingroup.map,
domainuser.map and and localuser.map files for those TNG-ers) because there
are no syntax examples anywhere!!!!! and me bieng silly likes to find syntax
so that i know that isin't wrong.

So
1. My version of 2.2.0CVS won't work with W2k (I don't know why!)
	it fits all of the specifed peramiters to work and does not.  (the error
for a fourth time is "could not connect to domain "domain" because the
procedure is out of range!"

2. 3.0 won't support domain logons in w2k (Sama advertizes this everywhere.)

3. tng doesen't have anywhere close to enough documentation (no mention of
syntax for the *.map files anywhere and thier site is currently down.)

so I now have to invest in an NT box becuase samba can't do it.
any help would be apprecieated.


Thank you for your time.
