I've done some basic testing with this patch, and for winxp (sp1 and
sp2), it works perfectly. Windows asks the tgt for a ticket for
cifs/machine at REALM, and all is well. Smbclient is a bit more naive tho,
and looks for a ticket for machine$@REALM. It would be nice if it
handled things the same way as xp. I haven't got win2k around here to
test this patch with, so i can only speculate that it will also work fine.
