What I need is the other way around.  The SAMBA server has all the user
accounts already.  It's the NT PDC that needs to get at it.  According to
our NT expert (that isn't me) that means the PDC has to trust the SAMBA
server.  He can set up the NT PDC to trust SAMBA, but how do I tell SAMBA
to let itself be trusted?  (In the NT world, even in a one-way trust
relationship, both sides have to agree to it.)

Thanks,
Rob
