I just wanted to report that my NT4.0SP3 box successfully joined a Samba 1.9.18alpha11 domain. Great! I had to create the MACHINE$ entry in smbpasswd manually, and I lost my previous profile, but that's all minor. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know. Kudos to Jeremy and Luke and all involved.
