[Samba] login to samba3 PDC and problem with novell netware client

[Martin Swiech]

That is what I am planning. But now there is "migration time".
It's over my potencial to migrate from novell netware to linux and 
samba over one night. I want to use novell netware and linux+samba 
both for some time. After full migration I flush novell client to trash.

If I could not resolve this problem, I think I have two possibilities:
1, Very good plan how to migrate => Very quick migration.
2, Using netware client from MS windows (not original novell client, but 
poor ms netware client) for "migration time".
