Is the default for the classic NT4 style server then different than for 
the ADC? If this would be true, then would it be an option, to disable 
the usage of testparm, etc. when the role is DC? Something like

if [ $ROLE == "DC" ] ; then
      echo "Role is DC. Please use samba-tool."
      exit 1
fi

Maybe it's a naive thought. So don't laugh. :-)


Or are the defaults for classic and AD the same?


But to deduce from your answer: Then the manpage is showing wrong 
defaults and testparm shows wrong defaults. Right?



Regards,
Marc
