smbpasswd utility is missing in newest SuSE samba-3.0.4 patch for 
SuSE-9.1 distro (via online update) so I've just thought that this was 
for good. Adi (see previous posts from this thread) proposed to install 
it from wherever I could get it which, of course, I refused since it 
does not solve my main problem.

Well, shame on SuSE then ! If they've sc..wed up It is the second time 
after their last year's bogus cvs patch for SuSE-8.1 ...

I succedeed to log-on to MYHOST using local password using extended user 
description: MYHOST/me_local

I succeeded to log-on to MYHOST using the pasword from the domain that 
my samba is not joined into but is replicating the authentication 
to/from the domain my samba isjoined into.

Let me point out again that the same smb.conf  and passwd files worked 
just fine with the 3.0.2a samba version.
