samba - Oct 2004 - W2K can't join 3.0.7 domain

I've got an unpatched W2K Pro system and I'm trying to join it to the
3.0.7
domain.  I put in root and root's password for the domain administrator. 
The
root user's uid is 0 and root is in Domain Users and works for logging into 
other workstations in the domain.

W2K reports "User not found" when I try to join the domain.  However,
the
machine account is indeed created in LDAP!  But the machine doesn't think it
has joined.

I saw some references to problems with the 'nobody' account in W2K.  I
have a
"Domain Guests" group RID 514 mapped to UNIX GID 514.  The GID exists
on the
domain only.  THe mapping shows up in the 'net' command.

Even on that W2K machine, I can browse the domain through Network Places.  So 
it is some other user that is not found.  Maybe the machine name isn't 
found??  I looked in the LDAP and Samba logs and I see nothing.  Here is my 
"Add machine script" line:
add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u"

I also can't join from a Linux system.  Here is what I get:

baa:/home/misty # net rpc join -SCORPSRV -U root
Password:
Create of workstation account failed
Unable to join domain CORP1.

But the machine account is created fine in LDAP, it's in the right ou, has
the
right GID and everything.  Can someone give me a clue what might be happening 
here?  I assume it's the same problem with the W2K system as well.
