Password Sync on Redhat

[steven s wang]

I thought I read the documents came with Samba 2.0.4b and there was no mention of
the support of running samba as aPDC except the samba server can act as a clien to
a NT domain.  Actually one of the readme file said the PDC support will not be
there until one the later Major Release 2.X.  May be X=0 suffice?

Can anyone point to me which document of samba 2.0.4b describes the configuration
of  PDC setup?  Thanks in advance.
