[Samba] Trouble doing a remote shutdown of a linux machine through samba

[Tom]

I just discovered something; if I use the shutdown gui in Windows XP, 
the remote shutdown works. I'm not sure what's different between doing a 
remote shutdown with the gui and from a command line, but as I need it 
to work from a command line, does this help anyone come up with an idea? 
I'm out of them right now.

Thanks again!
Tom
