I don't see how it can be physically possible. I was under the
impression that if you have security=domain and no domain logons=yes
line in your smb.conf file, you are rnuning a member server. It will not
process any logons. Once you add the security=user and domain
logons=yes, you are no longer a member, but a domain controller. If you
join a domain, you are a Backup Domain Controller. Someone else will
know for sure.
At least you don't need to reinstall your unix to go from PDC -> BDC ->
Member server. ;-).
