I guess that this list isn't the right place for distribution specific
questions, but as of what my manual for my dist says, it should work as a
PDC fully directly from the box.

It's the SuSE Linux Standard Server 8, based on United Linux 1.0SP3.  I've
followed the written manuals to the letter, and all the setup is made by
SuSE's web admin interface.  I don't know if it's familiar to you?

Anyway, I attach my smb.conf below, if that can be of any lead.
