[ngw] promote secondary to primary

[Randy Grein]

That's what I thought, but when I try to do it from a windows client  
that CAN connect (last one in the organization with the netware  
client) the option is grayed out also. Do I need to connect to both?  
It might be simplest to mount the netware volume with the primary  
domain from the linux server if that's all I need.
