trying to be able to log into Sam using NewT to verify
the passwords and usernames.  I did have it working
with the "security = server" option, but i eventually
want to be able to dynamically add users to Sam, along
with what groups they belong too (hopefully using 
the "add user script = " and the "delete user script 
= " options).  This means that i need "security = 
domain".  I stopped the smb daemons, added Sam to the
domain on NewT(as a "Windows NT workstation or 
server"), then typed the following command on Sam to
add him to the domain:
>smbpasswd -j Dominic -r NewT    ,
