The "Security=Share" won't work (I think) if you are joining the Samba box
to a Win 2k Domain (and it's PDC).  You have to create a machine account
on the Win 2k server, join the domain and establish a secure smb "SID."
file for the machine account.

I realize that this isn't your problem, Chris, but it might shed some
light on Dave's situation.
