I got it from the usual place. I'm not making this up (honest). When I first
started with Samba a few months ago I started with the plain 2.0.6, moved up
to 2.0.7pre4, then the main Samba CVS (pre 3.0) version. The only thing I
used to do differently is NIS+. All our unix accounts are on NIS+, and
initially I used './configure --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home'. As NIS+
support seemed very flaky to me (it usually wouldn't even compile with it
on), I stopped using it. I only started using the TNG branch when I realised
PDC functionality did not work consistently for me (about a month ago).

NIS+ table support is the only difference from a normal install that I used
to use.

Oops. Hope I haven't started a fight.
