Joining a domain

The netdom ... member /joindomain allegedly works as one would
expect (no error messages, everything looks ok). But after joining
the domain 

  - I cannot login as a domain user
  - netdom member /query says:
      ...
      Found PDC \\SUSIX
      Verifying secure channel on \\TESTNT
      The system cannot find the path specified

  - the workstation account's password is never changed

This is with Samba 2.0.7. I tried 2.2.0alpha1 too but did not dive into
extensive testing.

Maybe I am using netdom the wrong way? Since 

	netdom /domain:whatever member /joindomain

keeps telling me that I have no access to the \\PDC I tried passing
a user/password. This makes netdom work without an error message but
without really joining the domain. Is this what I am doing wrong?

I owe you a bottle of wine if you can give me a useful hint!

Best regards,
Tom
