Okay, but if you have a mixed Windows network (9x with NT or even Win2K), 
don't you *HAVE* to set up Samba as a PDC, because setting it up as a logon 
server will NOT work for NT & Win2K?

Or, if you foresee adding NT or Win2K into your system in the foreseeable 
(meaning: near) future, it would be better to set it up as PDC rather than 
a logon server? To save hassle when that time comes?

(I am new to Samba, and want to make sure I am understanding this potential 
crucial difference)
