[Samba] samba pdc without winbindd

[mallapadi niranjan]

Hi simo

But when i generally add a group through smbldap-groupadd -a <groupname> .
what is the difference between "smbldap-groupadd" and "net rpc group add" .
as i am using samba 3 as PDC with 2 domain member server and 2 BDC's also.
and i don't have any windows server systems at all, the domain member
servers are also linux system
with samba .

Regards
Niranjan
