If I manually set DHCP_HOSTNAME (this also seems to work running
drakconnect in expert mode, and setting "DHCP host name", but I am not
*totally* sure) then the hostname is supplied to my dhcp server, and my
DDNS works (now that the clocks on the DHCP server and DNS server are
not so far apart ;-)).

I will try and coax my win2k server installation into doing the right
thing, and also try joining with samba3 via kerberos (which is supposed
to work in 3.0alpha22).

Should be ok, not much difference between saturday afternoon and Monday
morning (unless Pixel decides to work the weekend ... whose turn is it
anyway? Warly?).

But a test against an NT server would be good to hear about (since I
don't have any NT servers ... just one win2k server). Anyone else with a
setup to test is welcome to tell me if it works or not ...
