BIG PROBLEM

Thank you, everyone;
I had made assumptions based on my 2.0.6 experience, and info from the 
"Using Samba" book, that indicated that the PDC functionality for NT was
broken until 2.2.0...  I have since tested against 2.0.7 on HP-UX and indeed
it does work with the caveats mentioned.
Thanks again,
Don

Actually in a limited circumstance it even works with Win2K.  A NT4.0 box
that has sucessfully joined a 2.0.7 domain which is then upgraded (not a
clean install) to Win2K will continue to allow you to logon to that same 
domain.
