samba - May 2003 - Join Domain OK, but domain name not found after reboot :-(

Hi, all:


The Situation
============
	I have a WinXP box (yup, sign-or-seal registry patch applied), and I
can initially join it to my domain.  It then prompts me to reboot, for
the changes to take effect.

	So I do.

	After the reboot, I cannot log onto the domain (using users which are
held in LDAP, and who can do console- and ssh-logins fine).  The
error-message says something to the effect that the domain name could
not be found.
	Curiouser:  I log in locally as Administrator, then check the
workgroup, and it's *NOT* what I had set previously when joining my
domain!  I see the domain as "shaw.ca" rather than
"WHITEROCK".

	This is very repeatable.


My Questions
===========
	What causes this joining-but-later-failing-to-connect domain behaviour?

	How do I correct it so that I can log on?


The Configuration
================
	Samba3.0alpha24 from .rpm.
		Local, Domain, Preferred Master (all yes)
		Domain logons (although I don't have Win9x boxes)
		Security = user
	RedHat 9
	wins server enabled
	nmbd running
	smbclient lists samba-server shares.  The Workgroup lists
(appropriately) as WHITEROCK, whether smbclient is run on the
samba-server or another linux box.

	TIA,
	-Gord

Just fixed this in yesterday's SAMBA_3_0 branch.  Update your local cvs 
checkout and try again.  You will need to rejoin the domain.  It was 
the lsa_query_info2() reply that made the XP client think it was in an AD 
domain.
