If it is an NT4-style domain, then the answer to your new question is none, you shouldn't have the parameter 'server services' in a PDC smb.conf.>> Can I stress how important it is that anyone who is still using an >> NT4-style domain upgrades to AD.

I know I do not need dns, dnsupdate, winbindd but I imagine more can be switched off. And maybe even less is needed for stand-alone server? many thanks, L.> >>> Can I stress how important it is that anyone who is still using an >>> NT4-style domain upgrades to AD.
