Problems joining a NT Domain

I have problems to join my samba Server to a NT Domain, when I use a
different netbios name for the host than the Unix hostname.

Here is the error message:
sun46# ./smbpasswd -r chcrc_dw01_spd1 -j chcrc_dw01
cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT
cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed
modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine
CHCRC_DW01_SPD1. Error was : NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT.
2000/04/18 10:31:57 : change_trust_account_password: Failed to change
password for domain CHCRC_DW01.
Unable to join domain CHCRC_DW01.
sun46# 

It works if the netbios name is the same as the Unix hostname!

I am using samba 2.0.6 an a Solaris 2.6 machine (compiled with
gcc-2.95.1). I have the same problem with the precompiled samba
distribution (verion 2.0.6) from the samba Web Pages.

Can someone help?
