Sorry, in my trying to clean up the line wrap I deleted the "U".  There
is one between the brackets.  My bad.

I tried the domain\user, I haven't tried login from the console -- I believe
I didn't have a "profile" directory last time I tried and it said so, but it
did validate the user at domain w/the correct password -- will try that again
to see if that sheds any more light.
