Subject: Samba and PDCs

[Ken Willett]

There may be multiple solutions to this, but one of these should work:

1. Create an account named "root" with your root password, as a samba
account. Then, when asked for the administrator username and password, use
root.

2. Create an account named "administrator" with your Windows 2000
administrator password, as a Samba account, and use administrator as the
login when joining the domain.
