using winbind with Windows 2000 native mode

I've just tracked down a problem running winbind against a
Windows 2000 server running in native mode.  Microsoft has added
a security restriction which disallows anonymous access to user
lists and groups.

To fix this run the following from a command prompt and then
reboot (yes the reboot is required - sheesh):

net localgroup "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access" everyone /add

I couldn't figure out how to do this from the Active Directory
Users and Groups MMC thingy.  It didn't like the group Everyone
for some reason.
