i'm curious.  you have domain logons = yes, and the netlogon set 
browseable = no, and you have an NT domain controller already.  does this 
actually work?  i'm _really_ curious to know!!! :-)

ok, you are using security = server.  this should be the same as security 
= user, except that the unix (samba) server trusts the NT server to 
authenticate the user.  i'm not familiar with the exact workings of it, 
however.

hm.

anyone else know about security = server mode?
