Automatic user database replication between PDC and BDC is not yet
implemented in any samba, tng or not.

The windows BDC will not import automatically the new users, except at
reboot, or if you restart that service, whatever it is.

And to be honest who needs windows, anyway?  After I phased out the last
windows NT server, everything started working smoothly.  Until then, it
was a pain.

I have a samba-tng PDC, and another lot of 5 servers runing samba.

And am very happy this way too.

Right now, I'm studying how to implement a BDC in tng.
