[Samba] Need a working model of smb.conf for a PDC

[Matthew Koster]

I have no idea how to set up tdbsam, if its easy I will try it out.

My clients are WinXP based for the most part, some 2K, some 98, I had it 
working a few days ago, everything but the changing of the passwords from 
the ctrl+alt+del menu.  I had it where it seemsed to autocreate the machine 
users (i.e. matt-idc$) using the "add machine script=" variable, however now 
when I try (after a reinstall cuz of a minor messup) I get errors of 
usernames not existing, even though I have all the usernames in the system.  
If you have a minor tutorial on how to set up tdbsam I will take a look at 
it.

I so most of my administration though Webmin, but if I can get ti to auto 
add users and machines I won't exactly need it.  The ohter good thing about 
Webmin is that its very easy to create domain groups and map them to local 
linux groups so that group based mapping are a sinch wih the use of 
ifmember.exe.

If webmin can be used to work with tdbsam instead of smbpasswd I would very 
much like to persue it.
