[Samba] Realm = or workgroup = ?

[Aaron_Colichia at Dell.com]

Ah,

I was experiencing weirdness with bug 371

In case anyone else asks,

If you do not have your 'workgroup =' set to your AD's netbios name

and you are using security = ADS + realm =,

You will have problems querying your DC because it tries to use the
workgroup string instead of the realm string.

Thx

The workgroup and realm are analogous to the netbios domain name and dns 
domain name (aka the kerberos realm) respectively in win2k.
