do: it's the version that works.  -DNTDOMAIN in the main cvs branch
doesn't.

you're using NT workstation clients or Win95?  if Win95, you don't need
BRANCH_NTDOM or -DNTDOMAIN.

use the UID of the "nobody" account.  follow the instructions in
BRANCH_NTDOM's docs/NTDOMAIN.txt to the letter.  let me know if they fail
to work for you, or if there are any ambiguities.
