The printing should at some time become like the printing
in HEAD... I have to admit, that the docs on that are...
well... rare... And since I don't need printing, I can't
help out here lots.

Well... I don't know much about that either... Maybe others
can help you out here.

Yep, the netlogon share has to be on the PDC.

I highly recommend installing them in a different tree, so
you don't need to rename the binaries, and you don't risk
any conflicts.

That sounds a little crazy... Hmmm...

I recommend, you add a read only = yes to that share, so
nobody can overwrite the file.

Can you write to Lars and send him the part of your
smb.conf for the netlogon-share, so he can include a
section about 9x-login scripts and a possible solution?
