Which distro to switch an FC3 samba server to?

[Qian Qiao]

Sorry for getting you confused. It's a 'incompatibility' (let's not
call that a bug) between shadow-utils-4.0.3-40 and samba running as
domain controllers.

Trusted window$ hosts using the DC needs an user account to be
created, that account must be ended with the $ (dollar) symbol. That's
where the problem comes in. shadow-utils-4.0.3-40 does not allow $
symbol in usernames.

If you a running a plain samba file server, you shouldn't worry about
upgrading you shadow-utils. :)
