TNG 0.5 - Still can't join W2K to domain...

Ok... I've attempted to join a W2K workstation to TNG 0.5: Network password fails.  Tracing through code and log messages, it seems
that /tmp/.msrpc is sometimes /tmp/.msrpc and sometimes LOCKDIR/.msrpc.

So... msrpc-agent.c: 221 and
        msrpc-client.c: 263 should have /tmp... replaced with LOCKDIR.... (I think).

Likewise, the 'pipe_name' parameters are also inconsistant... sometimes in a "dot" directory (..../.NETLOGON) and sometimes not
(.../NETLOGON).

Perhaps I'm missing something?  (BTW: the dotted versions are never created... only the non-dot versions.  When I changed code to
always use non dotted versions, the code complained that the pipes were not directories).  Also, for what it's worth, the log
messages seem to indicate that during the attempt to validate the network ID, complain about <lockdir>/.msrpc/.lsarpc/agent and
<lockdir>/.msrpc/.NETLOGON/agent not being found (or if I delete the dots, not being directories).  Note that <vardir> is after I
changed the /tmp code.

Additional notes:
1) When I first ran 0.5, <DOMAIN>.SID and "MACHINE.SID" both existed... smbd didn't like this and crashed.  I moved "MACHINE.SID"
out of the way, and now smbd runs.  Perhaps this was due to the former requirement to join your own domain?

2)  samedit installed in /usr/samba/bin doesn't work (just has a line complaining about missing codepage 000).  samedit in the
compilation bin directory works.
