[PATCH] Remove 'server role' lines from default smb.conf

[Rowland Penny]

HI, Samba ships a default smb.conf, this contains lines referring to the 
server role and a default line 'server role = standalone server'.

In 'man smb.conf', there is this about 'server role':

             This option determines the basic operating mode of a Samba 
server
            and is one of the most important settings in the smb.conf file.

            The default is server role = auto, as causes Samba to operate
            according to the security setting, or if not specified as a 
simple
            file server that is not connected to any domain.

I do not think 'server role' should be set anywhere except on an AD DC, 
the attached patch removes the lines.
