OK:
	Here's the scoop, Got it working beautifully, however i think the issue may
be caused by Password synch (and some oddly disfunctional sym-links).
However now I am trying to set it up such that a password change on a local
machine would be changed remotely. All the people employed by this company
have thier own workstation on this network with thier profile stored
locally, so it would be nice if i could have it set up to map local password
changes to the PDC, also i would like to find out how to copy the porfiles
from the local machines to the remote ones, more specificly how to automate
that process upon logon.  If anyone has any input at all i would appricate
it.

Thankyou all again for your time and support.

I don't have a handle on all the details of this. However, does the fact
that UNIX ignores
case in usernames bear on this? This is a hold over from the old days when
some terminals
could only do upper case. If you enter an uppercase username on some
versions of UNIX, they
will automatically map everything to lowercase. Usernames therefore needed
to be case
insensitive.
