samba - Mar 2011 - RESOLVED: Need urgent help. trust relationship problem during authentication

I am not sure if this first post made it to the list, but I wanted to
post the resolution, which was very simple and something I had
documented but buried and I had forgotten about it.

All these problems went away when I joined the domain using Samba's
version of "net", not Redhat's.  If you use Redhat's version,
it looks
like it joins the domain but it really doesn't work correctly.
