[Samba] Samba tuning - ldapsam:trusted

[Guilherme Sperb Machado]

but this account called "pcnet" need to have any relation to LDAP
server? I mean... LDAP server processes must be running with pcnet
account?! If no, I do not set any kind of password?!
and guest account should be set to "guest account = pcnet" ?!?

thanks for your answer.
