[samba-tng] status

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

ok, i just removed the requirement that the samba tng server must be
joined to its own domain.

i did this by checking, at the server-side-login code in
srv_netlogon_nt.c:

if (trust_account_name == global_myname)
{
	read_trust_account_password("$MACHINE.ACC")
}
else
{
	obtain_trust_acount_from_SAM_DATABASE(trust_account_name);
}

lars, can you update the FAQ accordingly.

createuser mysambaserver$ -j

will still work: it will overwrite the $MACHINE.ACC secret; it's just that
the trust account mysambaserver$ will never be used.
