Bug...I reported this a few days ago:

} failed.  I set the debug level to 10, and discovered that the connection

} the '-r PDC' argument, since it looked like the code in smbpasswd would
} figure out the PDC without specifying it.  That worked fine!  "nmblookup"
} has no difficulty resolving the PDC's name to its correct IP address.
