samba - Dec 2005 - windows env variable for USERDOMAIN is wrong

Hi all,

I just setup my Samba PDC.  Mostly everything works, but I am wondering why
on some clients, they have the wrong USERDOMAIN environment variable.  (when
you run 'set' in win xp cmd)

The domain name is MEIDLING, and the user and computer are joined ok.  But
in set, it shows USERDOMAIN as the Server name. Which is MAIN.

How do I change that?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, when the environment variable USERDOMAIN is set to the machine
name, it means you have logged in locally to the machine instead of on the
domain.

Not a samba problem.

Same problem i have.  Not sure if its deals with WINS or not. but I get my
domain showing up on XP boxes along with a domain named after my server showing
up.

When logging in both Domain\username and PDC\username work.  (sighs)
