I do realize that samba is not that great as a PDC, I am looking forward to the
day that it is.  Since our current file servers are Novell, we don't have a PDC
setup, so that is why I chose to setup the samba as PDC, also I want the users
to be able to log in, have scripts run, and policies downloaded.


I guess I am a little confused.  We do have about a dozen NT Workstations on our
network, none of those users have valid samba accounts.  What RPC calls could
they be doing that would tie up all the policy handles?
