Sync passwords for NT/Linux/SMB

[Mayers, Philip J]

Erm.. A *member* is a file/print server. It's not a PDC. "Joining" the
domain just like an NT server.

Phil

I'd love to (did that at home) but this is a production network and I want
to ease Linux into the company not impose it, have a problem and revert to
NT.  It's got to be a File/Print Server before it becomes a PDC!

I made many changes and now it's not working at all.  I have a feeling I'll
have to start from scratch again.  I looked for some info but all I can find
are people with similar problems but no real working solutions.  I'll post
my working solution if I ever get it working... Maybe 1 day ;)

Thx for support.
Ed.
