[Samba] Samba 3.0.14a, Windows 2k3 and ADS

[sysrm]

Thanks john,

Is there any specific chapter I should be looking at?

Searches for the -F switch, adding accounts via samba etc didn't turn up
anything.

Also it seems to be written more with samba as the PDC, which isnt the case
for me.

Thanks anyways

Ross

Ross,

You may find some useful info in the book "Samba-3 by Example" that answers
your questions. It can be downloaded from:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf


Cheers,
John T.
