I echo the sentiments of a previous poster; please read the docs in
/usr/doc/samba*. I moved my NT SP5 system over to Linux/Samba, and I had to
pour over the docs to fully understand all parts of it. You need to answer
some important questions for yourself, such as: "Will Samba act as the PDC, or
will NT retain this function?" Anyway, reading all of the docs, especially
'diagnosis.txt' under ../textdocs will help you get there. There are many ways
to use Samba; unfortunately, you will need to understand all of them before you
can approach this efficiently.
