I go back to the start of Windows networking.  We did everything from 
the DOS prompt.

Good point.  I tried that and actually was asked for user name for 
'homebase'.  So since none of my users got added by classicupdate (and 
no one has pointed me to what to look for to troubleshoot this), I tried 
'Administrator' (both cap and lower) and the passwork I use for 
samba-tool and got 'password or user name is invalid'  I think checked with:

# wbinfo -u
administrator
dns-homebase
dhcpduser
krbtgt
guest

I also tried guest with no password and that failed.
