[Samba] Working PDC: "Initialization failed for alloc backend"
My home domain includes a Samba 3.0.28a PDC on Fedora 8, a winXP and a win2K machine. It seems to be working well but I'm constantly getting the below error messages in the logs. What do they mean and do I need to do anything about them?
