I just tried it with /bin/echo - no difference and until this morning no
sign it ever tried to run. I tried it 8 or 9 times this morning and
finally, for the first time, received exactly one log message that looks
related to the problem.

Well preexec close = no is the default according to the smb.conf man
page, but regardless, I tried it with that statement explicitly set to
both yes and no. 'no' results in the no domain server available error
that I've had all along. 'yes' results in an 'invalid (or maybe it was
unexpected - can't remember) network response' error. In both cases the
box will not log into the domain.

BTW, I appeciate everyones efforts to help me in this... Any other
ideas?
