Server manager works with latest CVS!

My smbpasswd matches /etc/passwd only for a few entries, such as root and
james. However, when I try to start User Manager, it gives a RPC Server
Unavailable message. Shouldn't it just not display usernames in User Manager
instead of the RPC Server message?

Also, something interesting I noticed in Server Manager is that after
viewing the properties of a PDC, you can click on "Users" or "In Use" to
view the current users on the machine or the files that are in use. But if
you try to do "Shares" you get another RPC error. Interestingly enough,
doing this on a non-PDC machine works fine. Either "Users" "Shares" or "In
Use" will work. 

Does samba have the capability for the description line to be changed from
the properties of the machine in Server Manager yet?
