FDS by itself cannot serve as a Windows PDC; that's well outside the scope
of what it's designed to do.

Samba is designed to service as an (Windows NT 4-style) PDC.  It needs to
store information about Windows users and clients somehow, and FDS makes an
excellent backend for storing this data for Samba.

The Samba HOWTO Collection and Samba-3 By Example (both of which are on
Samba's web site) contain more information about how to set this up.
