yeah, it will a bit.

"domain logons = no" to disable BDC / PDC functionality (NETLOGON)
this stops samba registering DOMAIN<1c> internet group name, and from
answering SAMLOGON, GETDC requests.
"domain master = no" to disable PDC / DMB functionality.
this stops samba registering DOMAIN<1c> pdc unique name.
these are the defaults, so anyone who enables them on an existing domain
clearly _doesn't_ know what they are doing.
alternatively, they can move the Samba Server to a different workgroup /
domain, which is a [good] suggestion of one of your other KB articles.
thx for responding, martin.
