Please follow the examples in my book "Samba-3 by Example". This book is the 
official Samba deployment guide. If you experince any problems with the 
examples in this book I will help you to find the cause by which the book 
mis-directed you. After all, I want the documentation to be correct and of 
true value.

Samba-3 by Example provides fully documented, step-by-step, installation and 
depoyment instructions for complete networking solutions. It coveres simple 
networks and progressively introduces complex networking examples. Every 
necessary configuration file is provided.

Every time I have helped people on this list who have reported problems with 
Samba deployment - issues such as logon scripts that will not run, roaming 
profiles that fail to work correctly, not being able to join a domain, and so 
on, the solutions in this book solved the users' problem.

If you do not follow the documentation provided, you will possibly go through 
a more painful learning process. The choice is yours.
