Add:

If the above change does not work for you let me know.

PS: For this to work you must:
	1. Make the change shown
	2. Stop Samba
	3. Delete your existing /var/lib/samba/*tdb files
		(could be in /var/cache/samba/*tdb or
			/usr/local/samba/var/(tdb)
	4. Restart Samba

Make certain that: getent passwd
shows your accounts without the Domain name portion.
