Hmm.

I don't have a third machine to be a W2k client here (the real setup 
will have several hundred, both 2k and NT4, but I'm testing at present). 
Hence I have two machines:

* a W2k server which is acting as PDC
* a Samba server which is authenticating to the PDC but providing file 
services

and I'm reusing the W2k server as a client - ie. trying to access files 
on the Samba server from the W2k box.

As far as I can tell the Samba machine has already joined - password 
authentication doesn't work if it doesn't join.
