And the god's continue to conspire against me, I'm using cvs code from
the 2.2.0 branch as a PDC and whilst this'll work for machine accounts
it won't work for domain accounts.

i.e. local account

 nmblookup -S rm323bn                               
querying rm323bn on X.X.X.255
X.X.X.X rm323bn<00>
Looking up status of x.X.X.X
received 6 names

 Curiously it's the same for Hummingbird's fingerd daemon.

I'll try taking this to samba-ntdom.
