samba - Jan 2002 - interesting, one client won't join PDC's list of computers

I have a samba 2.2.0 server running as PDC. I have win98, winME, and LINUX 
clients. all was working well till server was unplugged accidently. now :
[root@srvr1 /root]# smbclient -Ufred%smbpotter -Lsrvr2

will not put my srvr1 back in the list

srvr1 is a linux client with a config file literally identical (except  to 
another 
linux client that appears in the list normally.

I'v deleted the domain account passwd from the smbpasswd file and created 
another with 
smbpasswd -a -m srvr1

and then I rejoined the domain with (on srvr1)
smbpasswd -j CASTMARK

everything else works, one win98 client will locate the server if \\srvr1 is 
typed into explorer's address bar, another win98 client won't find the
server
unless taught it's address with the lmhosts file. all machines can access
the
shares.


thanks in advance for any help
Fred
PS cc me as I'm not on the list anymore..

found it already!
I have my smbd/nmbd deamons running under xinetd. the hosts.allow file is 
used to qualify connecting clients and it didn't containg an entry for nmbd 
and the coients address.

thanks
fred
