"domain logons" also controls NT logons.  Can someone give me 
a valid set of circumstances where you would want Samba to 
validate win9x logons and not act as a BDC?

In my opinion (at the moment) the two are inseperable.  A Samba 
server (using accounts from a PDC) validating Win9x logons
should also validate NT client logons (and this is a BDC).

I feel like I'm speaking in a black hole here.  Would someone
please tell me politely to either be quiet or at least address
the questions above.  This is somewhat of a design issue I 
think.




Cheers,
