Well, I'm actually inclined to think that these are one of the more useful
sets of parameters that we could be showing examples for.  The smb.conf
manpage is long and twisty, and while it provides a comprehensive list of
options, it doesn't provide any guidance on which options an admin might
reasonably want to set.  Our default smb.conf *can* provide that guidance,
and these are options that it's particularly useful for a DC admin to set
even if we can't say that there's a default they should be set to.

So I think commented examples of "logon *" would be reasonable in the
default smb.conf.
