No, you just enter the username with
'Your_TNG_Domain[TESTING]\username_of_your_TNG and the password with
'his/your password'

What do you want really to do?
You want to make your Win2K to be a member of your TESTING domain, so you
can login fron Win2K to your your TESTING domain?

What kind of user is test? The user account (common user) or the machine
trust account?
But anyway, you must add the username in the /etc/passwd (RH).
If still failed, perhaps you must do rpcclient for the LSA query,
'rpcclient -S [your_PDC_name] -U % -c 'lsaq'

Cheers,

btw, I got this message from David when posting about Samba-TNG:

Hi, as this is a samba-tng question, you might do better sending it to the
samba-tng lists. Have a look at www.samba-tng.org
