If we replace our NT4 PDC with samba 3 PDC, then how do we make a change to the policy (NTConfig.pol)? If the NT4 PDC is gone, we can't edit it there. Samba docs talk about editreg tool, but it also says: "do not be surprised if this feature does not materialize". Has editreg materialized? This is why I'm thinking we need NT4 BDC around, so that we can edit the policy, then move that new policy to samba 3 NETLOGON. Thanks!
