SAMBA_TNG_2_5_GOOD as NT-PDC solution (Part I)

[Wilson Yau]

Thank you for all of your tips, advice & help, those replying to 'PDC
user authentication' several days ago.

As all of you may have already known, the ALPHA release 2.5.3 is not yet
ready (broken), FYI, I don't have those problems now when running
SAMBA_TNG_2_5_GOOD.

However, there are some error messages in different log files. Do anyone
know what do they mean?  (Something really need to be fixed or Can just
ignore them?).  If anyone could give me some hints on which
documentation to find out the relevant answers, I would be very
grateful.

Here are the collections of the error log meesages I've got:

1.) from /usr/local/samba/var/log.smb

Sorry, I know its a lot!

Thank you very much for all your attention & help!

N.B.  I'll enlose my smb.conf file & my brief system information in
another email closely followed this one.
