[Samba] samba duplicate name error FIXED

  Well, that was the problem. I set the workgroup and
the netbios to the same name, which was causing the
"duplicate name" error.

  Not sure why the old install worked just fine with
netbios and workgroup set to the same thing.

  Anyway, we can now log on to the domain without the
error. There are still problems, though ... the
authenication procedure is incredibly slow -- and the
reason we got a new server was so it would be faster.

  Tomorrow, I will make sure all the users are created
with the same uid on the new server, and then convert
our old smbpasswd to tdb format.
