To the best of my knowledge Samba will NOT affect any domain it is NOT a
member of. If it doess, I have NEVER seem it. I run NT training classes
and we often have three domains and a Samba server. I have jacked the
samba os level up to 65 and over and turned on domain logons support and
have had the NT network logon service shut down. I have also seen the
winlogon process die a horible death once and that stops ALL logons! Have
not been able to reproduce that one.

The most reproducible way to get NT to shut down the net logon service is
to reboot while Samba has the domain logon service running. Does it's
dirty everytime. NT can not handle conflict on startup.

I hope that clears any ambiguity up.
