Samba TNG - "Broken pipe" with samedit

[xfesty]

G'day.

I've sent this questions to quite a few mailing lists, but nobody seems to
be able to help.

My setup: FreeBSD box, acting as a PDC, with 14 XP workstations
authenticating.  I'm not really trying to do anything fancy.

I could not get Samba 2.2.4 to run as a PDC - even with the registry patch
(which did make -TNG work).  I even tried downgrading and trying 3.0 from
(which just core dumped on me).

I'll paste part of the email I sent to the other lists.

Thanks for your time; and if anybody knows of a solution (end result: PDC
for XP machines), please, reply ;)
