[Samba] ARGH... once again samba causes "permission" errors.

On 6/1/2010 12:03 PM, John H Terpstra had this to say:

>> # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

Hmmm ... my Win2003 AD NetBIOS (or "short" name) has a "." in it. Does 
that mean I should replace the "." with "-" in the WORKGROUP name? (I 
presume that using a "." in the REALM is OK).

In my case, I would be using SECURITY=ADS and IDMAP=AD.
