No. Diffrent box, PCnetlink is on a sun box sambas on a linux box, just
saying that there were a few things that changed to cause this. 
1. New samba version
2. Samba RPM build from samba.org
3. Linux samba server bound to NIS on sun box to now Linux samba server
bound to it's self.

Just asking if anyones got a quick fix (compile option or something) not
a biggie I'll restart samba and all will be well.
