[Samba] pdc configuration

[Paul Matthews]

I have a how-to on my website [url]http://www.opensourcehowto.org[/url]
for setting up samba as a primary domain controller (PDC) maybe your
answer will be there

OpenLDAP LAM Samba as PDC

and if you feeling a little bit more adventurous later on you could try
getting into the policies with samba

Samba Primary Domain Controller with Group Policies
