[Samba] Migrating from a WinNT 4 PDC to Samba 3 PDC Troubles

Hi,
I've been in the process of attempting a transition from our current NT 4.0
PDC to Samba 3.0.4 on linux (Debian running the 2.4.18 kernel). I can get
the smbd/nmbd up and running just fine and configure them by hand or with
SWAT and the changes are saved.
I've been following the HOWTO's and get stuck at the net rpc vampire step:
I am able to join the linux machine, call it SERVER2, successfully to the
domain, DOM. However, when I call 'net rpc vampire -S SERVER1 -U
Administrator%secret' I get the error that my current domain and that of
the server are incompatible:
Your current domain SERVER2 (SID:xxxx) does not match the server's domain
DOM (SID:xxx).
(Sorry, I'm paraphrasing the error output as I'm at home and don't have it
in front of me, but it's quite straightforward and contains no more useful
information than that.)
So even though it says that I've join the domain DOM, it still thinks I'm
in some domain with the name of the machine SERVER2. I've checked (as per
the error message) that the smb.conf has the
workgroup = DOM
security = user
Also, if I run pdbedit -Lv it reports that the current domain is SERVER2
rather than DOM. Running net rpc setsid DOM simply adds the SID of the
domain to secrets.tdb but doesn't switch its insistence of SERVER2 being
the domain rather than DOM. A call to net rpc testjoin says things are AOK
& that I'm in the domain DOM. Running net setlocalsid SERVER2 SID of DOM
changes the SID of the SERVER2 domain to be the same as the of DOM, but
just causes authentication errors when running net rpc vampire as it still
thinks that the domains have different names.
Any suggestions as to how to resolve this problem would be most
appreciated. I'm guessing a way to simply reset the name of the domain it
thinks its in would work, but having not worked much with 3.0, I'm not
sure. (I've used 2.2, but it's been a while since I've set one up and not
in as large a network environment.)
Thanks so much,
Nathaniel Grier
