mike,
nt5 is intelligent enough to add a workstation trust account password with
a random-based password, so you shouldn't have to use smbpasswd -a -m
w2kpro1.
in fact, if you _do_ this, it's a [minimal] security risk.
using smbpasswd to add trust accounts with default, well-known passwords,
is _Really_ bad.
i let nt5 do the joining, particularly now that you _have_ to type in the
admin DOMAIN\user pass in the net-control-pan box, now.
