Samba won't act as PDC

[John Benedetto]

I was able to log into my Samba as PDC when I added a mapping to a UNIX 
group on the "valid users" line in the Globals page on SWAT.  I still have 
other problems, but will wait to bother the list with them until I am at 
the banging-my-head-on-the-wall stage.  :-)

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions & help.
