How do I asign Doman Admin rights to a NT4 server??

[Celso Kopp Webber]

    Hi Ankit!

    I've had these problems in the past, and as far as I know, the current 1.9.18p7
production release doesn't support these options by default, at least they didn't
work as samba came from my RedHat Linux 5.x installation.

    So, I downloaded the latest development version, with these two commands:
cvs  -d  :pserver:cvs at samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot  login
    (when prompted for a password, type: cvs).
cvs  -d  :pserver:cvs at samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot  co  samba

    The last command retrieves the latest sources, creating a directory called 'samba'
on your current directory. You could also try:
cvs  -z  9  -d  :pserver:cvs at samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot  co  samba

    This option (-z number) uses gzip (if you have it installed) to transfer the files
compressed by gzip. It worked for me.
(A question for the Samba Team: does this increases too much the load on the
CVS server?).
