Bug Description

Hi,

on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileprint-security.html, describing the different valid values for the parameter "security" in smb.conf, you mention:

"security = domain: this mode allows the Samba server to appear to Windows clients as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC), Backup Domain Controller (BDC), or a Domain Member Server (DMS). See the section called “Samba as a Domain Controller” for further information."

So, according to that part of the server guide, "domain" is the right value for Samba as PDC.

On the other hand, on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-dc.html you write that "security = user" is the setting for Samba as PDC - which is the right value according to my understanding.

--> Could you please bring both pages into sync, which probably means adjusting the description for the different values on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileprint-security.html?

Thanks and best regards
Heiko
