Should be 'no'
uhmm.. i hit that one as well.
i had disabled those options, but must have accidently enabled it at
some point. (with swat - just shows the dangers of user-friendly
point and click).
The NT workstations began seeing the samba server as a BDC, and the
domain started acting funny. The NT admins took the PDC down, and
that was it, no domain anymore - a domain of about 600 users.. :((
anyway, live and learn.
