SAMBA3.5pre2-Does map untrusted to domain work?

Steven,
I was not comparing apples to apples was I ?  You are correct in that it is two different
scenarios we are talking about.  Makes total sense.
However, due to my current situation, I need to be able to temp. connect to the member
server (SAMBA) without the need of passing the domain name, if at all possible.  If that
switch will allow this, that will be great.  After I get all of the machines joined to the domain,
I will then remove this switch to force it to the correct Windows behavior.

Thanks again!
