Yes, this is what we want to do, but even after creating user and
machine account as given in the Samba TNG FAQ, werae not able to sue it to
access the shares in the PDC.

Test is a username and it is present in both smbpasswd and etc/passwd.
But still we are not able to use it to access the PDC using it in the Win

Thanks..but since I wanted information on using Samba as PDC , I had
mailed there. From henceforth, I will use tng-users mailing list.
