Ah, ok.  "net" is part of samba 3.0 (you can get the alpha).  If you only want 
to use net from 3.0, but still use 2.2 for everything else, that's fine.  

Just make bin/net from samba 3.0.

This allows you to type the command on the linux box to remotely shut
down the w2k machines.
 
If you want to shut down w2k machines from other w2k machines, you need the
w2k resource kit.  The command on windows would be "shutdown.exe".
