That refreshed my memory. On the two affected machines, I tried to join them
to a windows domain with likewise-open. Though the computers were joined, I
was never able to log in with my AD UID. I am guessing that the error is
somehow being generated when it tries to pass the login on to the AD domain
controller. I'll dig deeper.
