Does anything in Linux work *well* 1566

That happened to the MCSE geniuses at work, too. They serve to us with a 2K server (or, they did; I don't think they've changed it since, but I can't be sure). When they first set up the domain, they were so confident about it working that they threw caution to the wind. They ended up throwing our network segment to the wind, too. Only one machine would work on the new domain, and that one had 2K on it. The anything, access their mail, print, look in a network drive, etc. The smart MCSE was there half the night working on it. He started pounding the table a few times, muttering about wide-open permissions and the like, and *still* nothing worked. When he finally left (nearly 11 at permissions being backward or somesuch, I'm not totally clear on what he meant, but he said it was something he'd forgotten from a previous two-day networking problem, and once he'd set it, all was well.

I had the impression it was a per-machine fix, but I can't be sure. I was busy with a lot of other stuff most of the time he was working on it and didn't even get the chance to ask him much about it.
