[Samba] Re: Primard Domain Controller feature not working

[Mark Ratering]

Well, i fixed it.  nmbd wasn't working.  now i am having another
problem!  I am using the 'using samba' book from o'reilly and it says
that the parameter "domain admin group" is obsoleted in samba 3.0  I
am using 3.0 and i cant add computers to the domain.  What is the
replacement/workaround for it?
