samba 3.0alpah13 - problems/questions

[David Edward Shapiro]

Hello,

I wanted to use the new samba that is out.  I have a few questions:

1. When I try the new net rpc join command, it pops up a password prompt (my
nt admin added my server to the nt domain on the pdc).  Whose password is it
asking for?  He tried his nt domain root password, but that got a message
about there being some problem with the user or password.  He sees in his
event log the attempt from my solaris 8 sparc unix box, and it shows that it
tried to log in as ROOT.  Why doesn't the command work when he types in the
root password for the nt pdc server?

2. I used smbpasswd to add root.  I then tried smbclient -L hostname_here,
and it gave the following output:

incorrect size for /usr/local/samba/lib/upcase.dat - got 0 expected 131072
incorrect size for /usr/local/samba/lib/lowcase.dat - got 0 expected 131072

wins_srv_died(): Could not mark WINS server 127.0.0.1 down.

error connecting to 10.1.5.238:445 (Connection refused)
Password: 
Doing spnego session setup (blob length=75)

tree connect failed: SUCCESS - 0

What is up with the 0 sized dat files?  Why is it using 127.0.0.1 as the
WINS server.  My smb.conf was configured to use our department's wins
server's ip address.  Why is the tree connect failing.  What is the Server=
say samba instead of the name of my unix server (or is that correct?)?
Anyway, no shares show.  

I tried to start nmbd, but that failed too.  It just does not run and shows
no errors.  I ran a truss on it, and it did whine about something, although
I do not know what:
