[Nolug] samba PDC and vmware

Has anyone run across this?

I use samba as a PDC at home, on debian/sid. Windows 2K has no problems
connecting and authenticating to the domain. However, if I run windows
2k in vmware as a virtual machine in linux, it can't authenticate.

The virtual machine has it's own ip address and I've added a separate
machine account for it. It's obviously a problem with the machine
account, but what? It's definitely there ...

I get this in log.smbd:

[2002/12/21 16:33:33, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:build_sam_account(1221)
build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! username w2kvirtual$
with uid 1014 is not in unix passwd database!
[2002/12/21 16:33:33, 0]
passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:add_smbfilepwd_entry(581)
  add_smbfilepwd_entry: entry with name w2kvirtual$ already exists
[2002/12/21 16:33:33, 0]
rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_api_samr_create_user(2302)
  could not add user/computer w2kvirtual$ to passdb. Check permissions?
