Ignore that. (If you don't know, what it is, you don't need
it.)

This is fo Unixr DCE/RPC's DFS. It tries to build a samba,
that can authenticate against that. You probably don't need
that.

You want this.

BUT: This is completely untested and might not even compile
in TNG. If you want this, you should run a HEAD samba on
another machine, that is going to be your fileserver.

TNG is mainly intended for PDC-functionality, not
fileserving. We try to keep fileserving running, but not to
its full extent.

AFAIK nt5ldap isn't yet usable.

And I have no idea, wether the others work.

 --with-sam-pwdb=tdb should work to some degree. It will
store the passwords in a tdb-database. But I can't
recommend that currently.

No idea at all, not even, wether it works in tng. But I
expect, that it is intended to be able to do both: ssl and
non-ssl.

A little late. I'm checking samba-ntdom only at non-regular
times.
