[K12OSN] Managing a Samba PDC

[cliebow at downeast.net]

prob easiest to take the names and build a new smbldap pdc and bdc.where
are your homedirs..in our case i havnt yet duplicated some of the nt
functionality in ldap as far as authrnticating thru firewall adn
multiserver homedirs..itl take about 10 minutes to build a new
authentication from smbldap if you dont have exising structures that wil
screw you up...chuck
