samba - Dec 2003 - Adding XP to a samba domain

Bare with me please  :-)

I know this question has probably been asked before but a quick overview of
the archives didn't help me out.

Couple of parts

1.  Can a samba domain be established that doesn't require registry hacks on
an XP machine to add the XP machine?

2.  What would a VERY basic smb.conf file look like that creates a samba
domain for W2K and XP machines?

3.  Does anyone remember my name?  :-)

I used to be a big samba lister about 2-3 years ago, but havent been around
due to changes in jobs.

Thanks for any help I can get

Samba 3.0 supports this.

Yes. Use Samba-3.0.x. Can not be done with Samba-2.2.x.

Is that basic enough?

This is useful info. Let us see now...

The add machine script does the creation of the Linux machine account when
adding the Windows client to the domain. (/etc/passwd)

The add/delete user scripts do the addition/deletion of the Linux user
account when using a tool like usrmgr.exe or smbpasswd. (/etc/passwd)

How would I use the add/delete group scripts?  How do they tie in with
mapping Samba groups to Linux groups using the "net groupmap" command?

Thanks.
