G'Day David,

Thank you so much for taking this on!  It has for so long been
unfinished business for Samba's AD DC!

Here is one wrinkle that will get in the way.  A long time ago, I made
or allowed (I don't remember exactly how it happened) a mistake that
has been hurting us ever since.  When we provision, we write out the
smb.conf again, which is grand, because it allows --option= to be
specified to provision and get written into the smb.conf.

However, when folks specify BIND9_DLZ as the dns backend, we expand
"server services = -dns" into the full list, just without DNS.  That
list is now in a *lot* of smb.conf files, and of course my fancy - / +
syntax becomes of no use. 

(the same happens for users of the ntvfs file server)

My worry is that folks with the fixed list set won't get the new server
service of 'gpoupdate'.  It would be really handy if you could somehow
help fix provision not to do that, and then we need to come up with a
way to still start the gpoupdate service for these upgrading users.

Sorry,

Andrew Bartlett
