[Samba] Downgrade from 3 to 2 suggestions

[Stephen Carville]

I upgraded to 3.0.20a (I'll get 20b as soon as it is available but I
_really_ needed to know samba would work on this machine)

I tried my previous configuration with the usual failure.

After a bit more head scratching, sniffer traces, and poring over the
arcane language of one of the Grand Grimoires (_Samba-3 by Example_ in
this case), I finally stumbled across the following incantation:

 # wbinfo --set-auth-user=<Domain Admin Account>

Why this should work, I don't know but I can now get logged in from a
W2K, XP or Linux box.

Thanks to everyone who answered.

never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are
arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.
