Unfortunately, all that was done a long time ago, and I'm still seeing those 
messages.  It's more of an annoyance than a ready problem, though.

I can find plenty of documentation about using samba with windows domain 
controllers, but it seems to be assumed that you will be using one if you go 
any further than a couple of computers talking to each other.  
Troubleshooting this kind of problem simply doesn't appear in any samba books 
I've seen.
