For the record, here's what I did:

	To determine what the DC is:	

		nmblookup -A -U <hostname> -R "<domain>" 

	To actually change the passwd:

		smbpasswd -r <hostname of DC> -U <username>

Thanks to those who replied, I now have one less reason for me to boot into 
Windows every 90 days.  Actually, I now have *0* reasons to boot into 
Windows ever.  Wuhoooo!

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
