Since everyone seems to only post problems to this list, I thought that I would try and post a number of solutions at once.
This is my working samba configuration file (minus key indentyfying information). It may not be perfect, but it is as close as I have been able to get it to perfect, and that is after working with samba for a few years. This configuration has my server setup as a PDC (with roaming profile support that we actively use), wins server, and a print server. I may have forgotten a few things, but those are the main jobs it handles. The only problem I have had with this configuration was that sometimes the win 2k clients have had trouble with updating the roaming profile logins at log off, but I think that I have recently fixed this when I turned off the hidden and system attribute mapping. I do not claim to be any guru, all I did was follow the instructions found in the samba documentation. I thought that a known generally good configuration file could help a number of the people on this list who are having trouble. If this configuration helps you please let me know. If you have any trouble with it, I can try to help, but I can't promise anything.
