So, we created an account called LinuxAdmin on the NT PDC (NT 4.0) and gave
it the "Add workstations to domain" user right.  However, on a Linux box if
I do "net rpc join -U LinuxAdmin" (having set workgroup = RMNETNT in
smb.conf) and enter the correct password, I still get
"Create of workstation account failed
User specified does not have administrator privileges
Unable to join domain RMNETNT."
