hi, if you are considering running a PDC outside of a firewall, think
again.

if the PDC is samba or if the PDC is NT, doesn't matter.  do you really
want hackers to know all your usernames?  do you want them to knnow when
your users last logged in?  do you want them to know which accounts hve
administrator or other group rights?

tell me you're not going to run a PDC outside your firewall, please :)

best regards,

luke
