Hi All,  I was running Samba 2.2 as a PDC for a small office server for several years.  Hardware was getting old enough I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Samba 3.3.4 on FreeBSD 7.2 and a new box.

The smbpasswd file and all that stuff was copied from the old box.  Clients are Win2000 and XP Professional, and for the most part were back up and connected, practically unaware of the switch over.

After a couple of weeks of thinking "that was too easy" I got a call that one PC wasn't working.  It's an old Windows 98 pc only used occasionally.  I tried recreating the machine account for it, and rejoining the domain, to no avail.  Any suggestions where to start with this one?
