Hi Louis,

As I said, I set up an ARCH DC and got everything to work, I then sent
him my notes, his response was 'great, but I have been using my setup
for some time'

I got everything to work, wbinfo and getent.

I would agree, the user needs to upgrade and then follow your advice
(and my notes) and try again. I still cannot understand why he is using
a rolling release for something that really needs a static base with
few updates.

I have decided I don't want to know Arch any better ;-)

I thought the whole idea behind a holiday was to relax and take things
easy ;-)

Setting up Samba didn't take much time, it was getting Arch installed
that took all the time for me.
