UPDT: [Samba] Samba PDC on RH9 w/ W2k SP4 Client.

[Emannuel Silva]

Hi again,

  Just FYI, I was pretty sure that the problem was SP4 related and
  rolledback to SP2... and guess what?
  Still not working, still receiving the same DNS error message.

Any feedback will be appreciated greatly.

  Thank you,

    Emannuel Silva.
