samba - Sep 2004 - Upgrading from Samba 2.2 to 3 causes WinXP machines to drop off the domain.

There is a single Linux server which acts as a PDC to a mixed network of
Win98\WinXP machines. We've recently upgraded from Samba 2.2 (don't have
exact version number available, the machines run RH7.2 if that helps).

After upgrading to Samba 3.0.6, the WinXP machines need to be re-added to
the domain. We maintain multiple sites with this configuration and are
hesitant to roll out this update to other sites until we've fixed this
issue.

Does your current (2.2) setup have a consistant domain SID across all 
your sites?  If you have a way to find it, such as mucking around in the 
registry or something perhaps, you can set the domain SID in 3 and then 
you'd have a chance, assuming that you migrated your passwd entries over 
to whatever passdb you're going to run in 3.

What else is involved here?  I'm sure I'm missing something...
