Do not use SWAT unless you thoroughly understand it and how it can ruin
your system.

Do not attempt to configure Samba until you have read the official Samba
HOWTO docs. All of them, all variants.

Anything you do wrong is your fault until you've read *all* of the docs
and adhere to them. If they don't work, you need to post what doesn't
work.

With the exception of the idealx stuff, which is shit anyway, if you're
an OpenLDAP person from before, like me..

No smiley, no recourse. Samba 3.0.1 and the Samba team get my vote for
top software of 2005 (previous were Sam Varshavchik's Courier IMAP and
Wietse Venema's Postfix, not to speak of OpenLDAP, which is always top),
but as with the former, Samba requires that you at least read the doco.
If you do so, (with the exception of the idealx stuff, which is shit
anyway, if you're an OpenLDAP person from before, like me) everything
works as documented. It's bloody genius.
