I've gotten the XP machine to join the UCD domain now. Although I'm
still not clear what the groupmapping did.
It created a confluence of Windows admin and *NIX root. This allows
either to be used in place of the other, but now things get hazy for
me, and a Samba guru is going to have to supply clarity. I'm nearly
as new at this as you.

That syntax would be right if you were trying to join a domain called "PDC"
Showing as PDC is only dependent of the smb.conf file.
According to my man page, this is the correct syntax for joining as
PDC, not joining a domain called PDC. Setting <domain logons = yes>
should make Samba be the PDC, also, but I've had trouble with this
absent explicitly joining the domain as PDC, also, using the above
command. This is either a bug in Samba (I've been using 3.0.14 and
3.0.21a), or it's a function of my newness and error rate at setting
up samba servers. I lean toward the latter.
