NT Domain problem

[Rob Tanner]

Domain Logons applies to win95/98 logons, not NT.  However, with that 
value set to "yes", when you rebbot the PDC, it won't come up as a PDC. 
It may be that the original poster did just that (i.e., reboot the PDC 
sometime after SAMBA was running on the Linux box.  That is certainly a 
bug since win95/98 domains have nothing to do with NT.  In Microsoft's 
knowledge base you can find the problem described, and of course, they 
claim the bug is with SAMBA.  And of course, since Microsoft is very 
secretive and is even prone to deliberately mislead, and the SAMBA team 
has to reverse engineer to figure stuff out, and if Microsoft does 
protocols like they do everything else, then the protocol handshaking 
is probably exceedingly sloppy, it may well be that the immediate bug 
is in SAMBA.
