I guess that was me who removed some of the too stuff from the "Setting 
up Samba as a Domain Member".

I had passed the link to a customer because I remembered the page as a 
good and concise guide for setting up a member server. Then just after 
sending out the link I read the page again and realized that it was 
substantially changed compared to what I remembered was there and what I 
saw was too convoluted.

I briefly checked the page history trying to figure out who contributed 
the changes trying to figure out minimal changes that would result in a 
reasonable doc without throwing out too much stuff.

Unfortunately due to time constraints I had to resort to removing quite 
a bit of stuff to get back to a reasonable state.

When exanding the article please ensure users are not overwhelmed. There 
are probably a few ways to achieve this, one might be starting simple 
and putting the nuances and the complex stuff at the end.

Sorry!
-slow

It all went in overtime in response to questions asked on the samba
mailing list and while it may have seemed convoluted to you, it
answered a lot of questions. Yes it could have been written better, but
it was needed, so a version of it is going back.
