I just migrated my SMB pdc to a new server (was running 3.0.21c, now 3.0.22). Some things seems to be ok. net rpc list; net rpc testjoin seem to work.

The directory in question is on a Snap server running OS 3, and Samba is running on a new Sun V250 running Solaris 9; the NFS directory is mounted using udp.
