samba - May 2005 - HELP !!! migrating from win2000 pdc to linux pdc

Hello,

I have a test environment with 1 windows 2000 AD domain pdc ( mixed mode 
install ), 1 linux server ( to become pdc ) and a win xp box to test logon 
when the migration was completed.  The problem is no matter what I try 
after the migration the win xp's logonserver = windows server not linux 
server.  I have no idea what is going on here.  I've listed the process 
for migration just incase I'm doing something wrong.

NB: Initially I had a problem with the migration because machines were not 
being created.  The problem was due to useradd conforming to the posix 
standard and wouldn't allow accounts prefixed with $.  Got an interim fix 
from RedHat which fixed this problem.

Is there anything obvious I've missed?  I've been at this for weeks now 
and have no idea what to check next. ( logs are a blur now ).

Added linuxpdc and testpdc to /etc/samba/lmhosts
Added linuxpdc and testpdc to our DNS

removed secrets.tdb and passwd.tdb

set up smb.conf to be ROLE_DOMAIN_BDC

< testparm showed no errors >

net rpc join -S testpdc -W testpdc0 -UAdministrator%password

< joined the domain ok.  checked on the win2000 server and linuxpdc was 
listed as a domain controller >

net rpc getsid -S testpdc -W testpdc0
