NO, NO, NO!!!

That should be
'--set-auth-user=NONadministrator%not-cared-about-password'

You should *never* put an administrative user into this.  You should put
a user you don't care about, preferably one that you created just for
the purpose.  

If I see this 'advise' one more time, I'll put a special, load debug
watch in wbinfo on the string 'Administrator'...

We only do this to get around the fact that we cannot do NTLM logins as
our machine account.  In AD, we use or machine account and kerberos, to
avoid this mess.
