Win2k and Samba 2.2

[Oliver Schulze L.]

Add the user root to the smbpasswd file and then change the passwd of 
the acount.
# smbpasswd -a root

In win2k, use the user root and the new passwd when prompted for a username
while joining the domain.


If you have manually created the user for the machine and added to the 
smbpasswd
with the -m option, all should work.
