Samba creates a read-only virtual registry.  A writable
copy would need a full blown ACL implementation I think.
COuld be a funn learning experience for someone but it
wasn't important enough for me just yet to do it.

See 

  rpc_server/srv_reg*.c
  registry/*.c

The idea is to create a skeleton registry out of a tdb and
then provide a table of function pointers for linking
in other tdbs.  Only the nt*tdb's are hooked in 
right now.
