Download the main branch via CVS.  The current distributed version 
( 1.9.18p4 ) does not have the PDC support.

The on-line FAQ is correct.  Current and future development of the NTDOM
code will be in the main branch. BRANCH_NTDOM exists only for
experiments.

**NOTE TO THOSE THAT PREVIOUSLY HAD BEEN USING BRANCH_NTDOM**
BRANCH_NTDOM is currently being merged into the main samba cvs 
distribution.   Development os the BRANCH_NTDOM code will be 
discontinued shortly.  This **does not** mean the development 
of the Samba PDC code will be discontinued.  Future development 
will take place directly into the main samba branch.



Hope this helps,
